According to EH Bildu in Donostia-San Sebastian, the ediles have approached Zubieta Street after receiving the warning from the neighbors. There, several streets and cabins have been found closed and, in consultation with the workers, they have been confirmed that the direction of the works and the City Hall of Donostia-San Sebastián.

It appears that the work to repair the hole that has appeared this morning in the area has begun, and in the afternoon they were still working on it. Eh Bildu Donostia-San Sebastian has denounced the lack of information on the works of the suburban area and considered it "serious" that the municipal government has not yet reported on what happened in the works.

The municipal group has stressed that the latter zulo evidences the difficulties encountered in this part of the works and that the containment works initiated after the appearance of the first hole have not worked. In addition, the construction project of the second tender, awarded a few weeks ago, indicates that the area presents inadequate geotechnical conditions and that new gaps are possible.

For all these reasons, the municipal group of EH Bildu has demanded that the "nonsense" that delays, overruns and, above all, labor and citizen security in Donostia-San Sebastián are being put at serious risk.

Background

In June last year two buildings in the same area had to be evicted due to a detachment that has occurred during the works. On this occasion, a gap was opened in the place where the work was being carried out and water, sand and debris were introduced into the tunnel, according to the workers reported to Argia. They also stressed the lack of stability in the area and the lack of stability.

In November 2020, a spectacular hole also appeared on the same street in Zubieta. Residents have also repeatedly denounced the damage caused by the suburban works, and the workers who have worked on the works have also denounced the lack of safety.
