An appeal obliges to paralyze the works of a road connected to the Guggenheim Urdaibai

  • The Basque Government has paralysed the execution of a wooden pedestrian crossing in Murueta for an indefinite period, following the appeal made by the Guggenheim Urdaibai Stop platform. This road could be one of the accesses to the Museum and the biosphere reserve would be within.

The project to create a museum in the Guggenheim in the centre of the natural space of Urdaibai now has another stumbling block. The Basque Government has paralysed the works of a pedestrian crossing in Murueta for an appeal against a measure of citizen security. According to the newspaper El Correo, it has suspended the execution of the route to have "more legal certainty" in the current situation.

In September, the citizen platform Guggenheim Urdaibai Stop appealed to the Ministry of Ecological Transition Coasts (TRANSICION Española) to bid for the works. The appeal calls for the suspension of works due to errors in the public handling of the occupation of various sites.

The Basque Government, in addition to paralysing the award of works, has also refused to call a public competition. The public body has a fund of EUR 1.5 million for the construction of the European Next Generation (EU).

 

The pedestrian walkway of Murueta is related to the museum project Guggenheim Urdabai, one of the main works for its implementation

As Ahoztar Zelaieta wrote in the newspaper El Salt-Hordago, the project "to value the natural and cultural heritage" in the upper part of the Oka River is the official name of the work to be carried out in Murueta. Construction company Gaimaz finally won. "He now has the right to be indiscriminate," says the investigative journalist, citing direct sources from the Basque Government.

A wood infrastructure in the home of visons and turtles

The pedestrian walkway of Murueta is related to the museum project Guggenheim Urdaibai, one of the main works for its implementation, which began in autumn. It is a wooden structure or palafito that would run over the swamps of the biosphere reserve to connect the museum with the factory of tiles of Murueta and Gernika. The first phase has a length of 370 meters.

The road has two phases and goes into the biosphere reserve. At the moment, they wanted to start the first phase. In the image, a blueprint of the project.

The Provincial Council of Bizkaia first saw this route with suspicion for the environmental damage it is going to cause. It contains endemic species such as the European Mink, the Spiny Fish and the Turtle. Finally, however, the Basque Government and the Council reached "consensus" on this matter.

The Spanish Government's Ministry for the Ecological Transition has approved the latest version of the project, although El Correo has recognized at the same time that it can have "significant environmental and visual effects".
