The Xunta de Galicia has opened the tendering process to improve road safety on the Camino Ingles as it passes through A Sionlla, in Santiago de Compostela, with an estimated investment of €239,332.17.

The project, valued at over €200,000, aims to promote sustainable mobility and enhance accessibility along the route by separating pedestrian traffic from vehicular traffic on the N-550 national road.
The plan includes the construction of a pedestrian path and a 22-meter-long corten steel footbridge over the river Sionlla, along with improved signage and flexible paving. The goal is to create a safe communication space from the Camino's entry on the north bank of the river to the access road for the CEIP Arquitecto Novoa primary school.
The tender has been published on the public procurement platform Contratos de Galicia. The deadline for submitting proposals is December 1st.
This initiative is part of the road safety improvement plan for the Camino de Santiago routes, with a budget of up to 40 million euros, which includes reforms on more than 150 kilometers across nine routes, in preparation for the Holy Year 2027.
