There are plans to build a new road from Aldover to Vinallop to bypass Jesus and Roquetes.  The plans are available in the Ajuntament in Tortosa (top floor).

I have had a look at the plans and basically the road starts just after Aldover and then loops around Jesus, Roquetes and Raval de Crist, crosses the  Mas de Barbarans road and continues on to re-join the C12 near the Vinallop roundabout.

I've superimposed the road onto our map and posted it http://www.tortosaforum.com/newroad.jpg

The bottom part is fairly accurate as I got a photocopy of the plan - the top bit near Aldover may be slightly wrong as I didn't get a photocopy of that bit and I've drawn it from memory.

According to the man in the planning office it is due to be built in the next 2 to 3 years.

Hi Nigel,

How do you think the new road will impact on the area?  If the circle is where you live then it looks a bit close for comfort, although I don't know what scale the map is.  Also if a large part of it is to be on pillars, or whatever, that could make it noisier.

I can see why they might want to by-pass Roquetes but I wouldn't have thought that the volume of traffic would warrant a dual carriageway.

Keep us posted.
