Rethinking the Ring Road: Tunnel, Rail Alignment and the Question of Benefit for Palma

Answer

What environmental concerns are linked to the Palma ring road changes?

The main concerns are noise, drainage and possible effects on groundwater, especially in the flatter areas toward the airport. These issues matter because road and tunnel works can affect both nearby neighbourhoods and the surrounding landscape. Better noise protection, greening and clear environmental monitoring would help address them.
