The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility has awarded the contract for the repainting of the
road markings on different sections of the motorways A-30 y A-7. The work will consist of
the removal and repainting of longitudinal and transverse road markings of the signage
horizontal, in such a way as to ensure their visibility and thus the road safety of both sides of the road.

CTCON has as one of its main objectives to equip the construction sector with
the tools necessary to ensure the proper manufacture and maintenance of the
pavements, which not only includes innovations in the asphalt mixtures used for

signage, among others. The extensive experience of CTCON at R&D&I associated with the

The construction process allows for its updating, incorporating the concepts of

Therefore, the investigation of CTCON is aligned with the needs of the
