In order to achieve the intended opening of the full six lanes of the TF1 by the end of summer, there will be major roadworks from next week lasting throughout the summer between Tabaiba and Santa Cruz.

The roadworks will be in operation throughout August, and apart from planting and gardening in the central reservation, will consist primarily of clearance and drainage, with the result that the fast lanes will be completely closed between Mondays and Thursdays.

Works will begin on Tuesday, 5 August, and will start in the Candelaria to Caletillas section. This is when they will be installing the Alisios I bridge, which will join the TF1 with the TF2, though since the works will be "off-carriage", disruptions to traffic are not envisaged.

Also, the north-bound carriageway at the entrance to Barranco Hondo will be closed for the final asphalting between Wednesday 6 and Friday 8 August.

The work to remove the old Santa María del Mar bridge will start on Sunday 10 August, and should last for 3 weeks, the works being done overnight. Again, this shouldn't cause disruption because the new bridge is already in place.

The press release of these works carries a reminder that the speed limits are 60 kph in these areas.
