The development plan which the Council of Majorca is about to approve proposes putting some stretches of the Inca motorway underground to facilitate a connection between natural areas. Planning minister Rafael de Lacy explained that it was not a question of burying the most important road in Majorca, but covering some stretches with false tunnels. He explained that in Marratxi, for example, a stretch of motorway splits a small hill in two, just before reaching the municipality of Santa Maria. What the Plan aims to do is rebuild the landscape, recovering the hill by covering the motorway with a false tunnel. In this way, the Serra de Tramuntana mountains would be linked with the plain and the purpose is to create a biological corridor which will allow the passage of flora and fauna from one natural area to another. The minister said that at the moment, the motorway is a dividing line between the mountains and the other natural spaces of the island.
