Contract work for improvement of Queimada rural road on São Miguel has been authorised by the Court of Auditors
The Court of Auditors - Azores Section has authorised the contract work for the improvement of Queimada rural road in the village of Furnas, municipality of Povoação, on the island of São Miguel.
The project has an estimated budget of 725 thousand Euros (project development, inspection and implementation) and begins after the delivery of the safety plan at work. It includes, among other improvements, a new asphalt pavement and a drainage system covering an extension of 1,200 metres.
This intervention, awarded to the company Albano Vieira S.A., is of significant importance for agricultural activity in the village of Furnas. It will improve accessibility to nearly two dozen farms in an area of about 80 hectares, of which 10 correspond to forest areas and the remaining 70 to agricultural areas.
In addition to improving agricultural accessibility, the Regional Government intends to solve the problem of water drainage affecting this area in the village of Furnas during bad weather situations.
