This roundabout, together with another planned for the western end of the town, will considerably ease the effects of traffic in the town centre
The councillor of the Department of Road Infrastructures of the Island Council of Eivissa, Mariano Juan, and the mayor of San José Town Council, Vicente Roig, today visited the construction work on the east access roundabout to San José and noted that ‘it is going at a very good pace, nearing its final phase, and we are happy because we are responding to a demand and vehicles in the town centre,’ explained Juan.
Construction work on this roundabout at one of the two accesses to the village of San José de Sa Talaia, at the entrance from Ibiza (specifically at kilometre 11.9 on the EI-700 road), began last January and is scheduled for completion between June and July of this year. This work has an execution budget of 833,383.62 and, as detailed by the councillor, will put an end to the current dangerous junction that joins the road with Avenida Diputado Josep Ribas, where numerous municipal facilities such as the Urgell school, the municipal swimming pool and the football pitch, among others, are located, making it safer for drivers and vehicles that circulate at this point.

Work on the San José roundabout enters its final phase
Juan said that this roundabout will allow for a reorganisation of traffic ‘that will pacify the traffic in the town of Sant Josep’ and that it will be added to the other roundabout planned, currently in the drafting phase, on the western access to the town, via Sant Antoni, which will allow for a change of direction at the entrance and exit of the town and avoid the current situation in the centre of the town on one of the roads where there is a large influx of vehicles throughout the year”.
Mariano Juan has given an account of all the actions being carried out on the island’s road network, mainly in the municipalities of Sant Josep and Sant Antoni, where there are some of the stretches most affected by traffic, especially in the summer months.
The mayor of San Josep, Vicente Roig, thanked the Consell for its ‘involvement and speed in carrying out this work, which should bring safety to the entrance and exit of the town, an area with a lot of daily traffic’. Roig announced that the Town Council is also in talks with the Consell to include new measures to improve traffic safety in the village, such as moving the bus stop from in front of the church to the Hipercentro and that the access next to the Rincón Verde in Es Cubells will no longer be in the direction of Es Cubells, with an exit to the new roundabout.
