The explosions of works of the Supersur damage the 17th century palace in Bilbao

  • The continuing explosions taking place in a motorway access tunnel have affected housing and architectural heritage. The neighbours of the Bolintxu Valley of Bilbao have complained and the platform against the enlargement of the Supersur has made the complaint public.

The residents of the Seberetxe and Buia neighborhood feel the explosions day and night, to the point that in many cases it does not fall asleep. In recent weeks, a tunnel is being built in the expansion of the Super-South, the explosions of which have caused damage not only to housing but also to the 17th century palace in Seberetxe.

This palace is one of the three Baroque buildings in Bilbao, also known as the Larrinaga Tower or Zeberitxa, and enjoys special protection for its architectural and cultural interest.

The platform against the expansion of the Supersur has explained that in the palace "there have been cracks and detachments from the cornices and police and fire intervention has been necessary to secure the facades and remove the fallen fragments".

In addition, cracks in homes have also been recorded. A 16th-century farmhouse has been preserved in the area. Thus, the platform has again called for this "expensive, wasteful and useless" work to be stopped, in which they have called for "more work".

The neighbours of the Bolintxu Valley have long protested against the expansion of the Supersur. There have also been demonstrations in which, according to the environmental groups, this is the last natural breathing space in Bilbao – between the Arnotegi and Pagasarri mountains, the only one where the dwellings and the forest are preserved – for the destruction of the infrastructure.
