Lanzarote: Las Coloradas road closures from 26 October

Which streets are affected from 26 October?

The Ayuntamiento de Yaiza closes Calle Las Buganvillas and Calle Las Acacias in Las Coloradas from Monday 26 October 2026. The council has announced resurfacing, maintenance and accessibility works there.

The closures follow completed works in Calle Playa de Afre. According to Gazette Life, each construction phase should last about three days, but the council gives no exact end date in the available notice.

What does this mean for residents and tourists?

The Ayuntamiento de Yaiza notice is explicitly aimed at residents, tourists and accommodation providers. Diversions and restricted access are expected during the works.

The council asks everyone affected to follow the temporary signage and plan alternative routes. The available information does not mention special access rules for residents or foreign residents.

Which diversions apply in Las Coloradas?

For vehicles heading to Las Coloradas, the council previously named Avenida de Femés as the temporary route. Access starts at the roundabout on Avenida de Canarias and the LZ-2.

Traffic is then expected to continue via Calle Janubio and Vial de Enlace. The new notice does not confirm whether the same diversions apply unchanged from 26 October.

For the town centre or the El Faro area, access is expected to run via Avenida de Femés and then Avenida Papagayo to the junction with Calle Maciot. These details come from the separate notice about Avenida Papagayo.

How big is the construction project in Las Coloradas?

The project covers the full refurbishment of seven streets in Las Coloradas. Planned works include strengthening the road surface, resurfacing, signage and accessibility improvements.

The Ayuntamiento de Yaiza is investing 1,000,000 euros from municipal funds. The responsible administration is chaired by Óscar Noda, mayor of Yaiza.

According to Gazette Life, accessibility works have also been carried out this week on Calle Las Palmeras in Las Coloradas. Other streets in the plan are Ombú and El Moral, as well as a section of Avenida de Papagayo.

What is happening on Avenida Papagayo?

Avenida Papagayo is being refurbished in a separate project that runs from the town centre to the Ciudad Jardín roundabout. The council gives a total investment of 2.6 million euros for this.

That figure refers to the overall scheme described there and is not automatically the same as the 1 million euros for the seven streets in Las Coloradas. According to Gazette Life, works are currently under way between the Hotel Dream Playa Dorada and the roundabout on the link road.

What is still open?

The new closures are due to begin on 26 October 2026. The exact completion date, individual diversion plans for each construction phase and possible changes for pedestrians and deliveries remain open.

Access to individual hotels or homes is also not covered in the available notice. The primary information contains no further deadlines or application options.
