The urban integration works on Santa Eulària avenue and the renovation of the access points to the Botafoc docks in Ibiza Port have been completed. Both developments, carried out by the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB), have been completed on schedule, with the aim of improving the port-city relationship and the port functionality.
The Santa Eulària Avenue project has transformed the access to the port into a safer, more accessible and sustainable space, with a separate cycle lane, a new pavement for pedestrians, landscaped areas with trees, renovated street furniture and efficient lighting with LED technology. With an investment of 1.2 million euros, the development improves the connection between the Formentera passenger terminal and the city, while calming road traffic.
The project is part of the APB's strategy to integrate the port with the urban fabric. To make this possible, Ibiza City Council played a key role, especially in the sections owned by the Council.
Meanwhile, the improvement work on the Botafoc docks, begun last November, has also been completed, with an investment of 2.6 million euros. This project has made it possible to replace the four existing escalators and install two new ones (one ascending and one descending) at the end of the fixed walkway next to the breakwater. A new lift has also been added, and all flights of stairs have been covered with protective canopies. The canopies and railings of the fixed walkways have also been replaced and the pavement, which had been deteriorated by exposure to the marine environment, has been repaired.
The work was carried out in phases over seven months to ensure the continuity of port operations. With this development, the safety and comfort conditions for passengers embarking and disembarking at the Botafoc docks are significantly improved.
These developments reflect the firm commitment of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands to a concept of the port as an open, integrated space at the service of citizens. Universal accessibility, sustainable mobility and the coexistence between port activity and urban life are fundamental pillars in the planning and development of the ports managed by the APB.
