Marbella starts the repair of the Coastal Path at the Artola Dunes, enhancing safety

The Marbella City Council has begun actions to repair approximately 1,250 square meters of the surface along the Coastal Path as it passes by the natural monument of the Artola Dunes, in the Las Chapas district. This intervention will enhance the safety and accessibility of a protected area and one of the green lungs of the municipality. The project includes the complete replacement of 500 linear meters of wooden walkway that are in an advanced state of deterioration and the renewal of one hundred meters of irreparable railings. The workers will also perform specific repairs on different sections of the coastal path's platform planks and handrail elements. The work has a completion timeline of about two months and includes the removal of a half-kilometer-long section of the walkway and its support beams. Subsequently, the terrain will be leveled, and an anti-root geotextile will be installed to prevent vegetation from damaging the walkway structure. Once this phase is completed, the workers will install the new walkway. The workers will also replace one hundred meters of railings and repair another 400 meters with reinforcements and anchors. The intervention includes the placement of 40 new planks, secured with stainless steel screws to increase their durability, and the reinforcement of five piles in elevated areas of the walkway.
