The Provincial Council opens for public consultation the improvement of access to Priego via the CO-8209

The Provincial Council of Córdoba has opened a public information period, for all purposes and expressly for environmental and expropriation purposes, regarding the project to improve access to Priego de Córdoba on a 1.64-kilometer semi-urbanized section of the CO-8209 road from Priego de Córdoba to Luque via Fuente Alhama. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba number 202, dated October 23, 2026, in the Local Administration section, with official reference BOP-A-2026-3540 and file number 776/2026.

Provisional approval and period for objections

The project was provisionally approved by agreement of the Governing Board of the Most Excellent Provincial Council of Córdoba dated October 13, 2026. Following this approval, the file will be available for public inspection for a period of 20 business days starting from the day following the publication of the announcement in the provincial gazette.

The procedure is based on Article 93 of the Revised Text of the Legal Provisions in Force regarding the Local Regime, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 781/1986, of April 18, in relation to Article 83.2 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations, and Article 33 of Law 8/2001, of July 12, on the Roads of Andalusia.

The consequence of the procedure is detailed in the announcement itself: if no objections are submitted, once the public information period has elapsed, the project—which until then was provisional—will be understood as definitively approved.

File consultation and publicity

The announcement includes the means of access to the documentation and the applied transparency framework:

• Public exhibition of the project during the 20-business-day period.
• Publicity on the transparency portal of the Council of Córdoba, in accordance with Articles 7 a) and 13.1 e) of Law 1/2014, of June 24, on Public Transparency of Andalusia.
• Electronic consultation at the provincial electronic office, under the procedure for public exhibition of construction projects: https://sede.dipucordoba.es/diputacion/tramites/procedimiento/70030/exposicion-publica-de-proyectos-de-obra
• Submission of objections within the indicated period, as the project affects environmental and expropriation matters.

Who signs the announcement

The document has the approval of the Head of the Contracting Service, Juan José Gómez Gracia, and was electronically signed in Córdoba on October 19, 2026, by the 1st Vice President and Delegated Deputy for Infrastructure, Sustainability, and Agriculture, Andrés Lorite Lorite. The announcement includes the Secure Verification Code (CSV) 5E54 FB0E 68B7 AFD4 3680, with a signing date of October 23, 2026.

Affected parties and scope of the action

Public information is of direct interest to landowners who may be affected by the expropriations resulting from the project and to the regular users of the CO-8209, the connecting road between Priego de Córdoba and Luque via Fuente Alhama. The declared objective is the improvement of a 1.64-kilometer section classified as semi-urbanized, which places the intervention in the access area to the town of Priego.

The relevance of the announcement is twofold: it opens the door to allegations from citizens and affected parties before final approval, and it activates the expropriation procedure that accompanies the work. Any interested party who does not file objections within the deadline will be subject to the automatic final approval of the project, without a new hearing phase.
