President Llorenç Galmés has met with Mayor Virgilio Moreno and the Inca City Council, and they have reached this historic agreement to promote an urban road that will run from the Lluc road towards the Alcúdia road ring road. The 2014 Northern Bypass project is discarded
The Consell de Mallorca and Inca Town Council met today to reach a consensus on the layout of the urban ring road in the town, which is intended to relieve traffic congestion in the centre of the town heading towards the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. As already announced by the island institution, the Town Hall will promote the project of its choice. To this end, at today’s meeting, President Llorenç Galmés presented Mayor Virgilio Moreno with different possibilities so that the council can choose the one it deems best for the town. The chosen one has been the construction of an urban road that goes from the roundabout at the exit to Lluc and connects with the Inca ring road, passing through the street of Mateu Pujades where the Berenguer d’Anoia secondary school and the Miquel Duran school are located.

The Consell de Mallorca and the City Council of Inca agree on the future urban ring road of the city
The new ring road will be just over one kilometre long and is intended to relieve congestion in the city centre. It is a long infrastructure procedure, as the project has to be started from scratch, with requests for environmental reports and expropriations. Now the technicians of the Consell de Mallorca and those of the Town Hall will specify the route along which it should pass and the typology of the new infrastructure.
The president of the Consell de Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés, has also announced that the 2014 project for the northern bypass, rejected by many neighbourhoods and by the Town Hall itself for its high impact, as it consisted of the construction of a ring around Inca through rural land, has been discarded. Galmés has assured that he will propose the elimination of this project from the Sectorial Master Plan for Roads.
The maxim of this Consell de Mallorca,’ said President Galmés, ’is to listen to every one of the town councils of Mallorca. That is why we are here today to announce a historic agreement with the Inca Town Council on the route of the future urban ring road, after 16 years of controversy and debate. For this reason, this is an important day for the city of Inca and I am very pleased to be able to unblock, after three legislatures, this project. We have put different proposals on the City Council’s table and they have chosen the one that goes from the Lluc road, passing by the Berenguer d’Anoia secondary school. Llorenç Galmés also added that ‘the 2014 project, which was strongly contested by society, has been discarded, and we will propose replacing it with the Sectorial Master Plan for Roads’.
Mayor Virgilio Moreno also expressed his satisfaction with the agreement and consensus between administrations. ‘It is the first time that a president of the Council has come to Inca and we have reached a consensus of this nature to promote an urban ring road that can improve traffic in our city,’ he said.
President Galmés was accompanied at the meeting by the councillor for Territory, Mobility and Infrastructures, Fernando Rubio, and the island’s director of Infrastructures, Rafel Gelabert. The deputy mayor for urban planning, Andreu Caballero, also attended on behalf of Inca City Council.
