Construction of the Labrit walkway cost EUR 669,000 and repair EUR 1 million

  • The catwalk was built in 2010, when Yolanda Barcina of UPN was mayor of Pamplona, at the time of the toughest crisis. In 2016, Joseba Asiron’s municipal government closed because serious construction problems were found. At present they are still settling.

The then UPN councillor, Enrique Maya, today mayor of Pamplona, denounced the decision and shook the municipal government with the issue in much of the legislature. To what extent, and in the 2019 municipal election program, when mayor emerges, he announced that he would reopen the runway. He got the mayor, but not the reopening of the Labrit walkway.

One can consider as one of these symbols for the grandeur of the UPN the step that sought to avoid through the air the intense traffic of Labrit Street. The street has two steps on foot, and the logic the air could have, and surely the most logical would be to make infrastructure much cheaper, even more so when the 2007 crisis was at its peak.

But whoever carries the magnate in his bowels cannot be asked for a detailed and dignified solution, especially when a few meters from the catwalk he wanted to build the Museum of San Fermin, something more expensive, which had a budget of EUR 6.5 million. The museum project was suspended, dragged by the crisis and the wind of the change of government. However, Labrit’s runway remains standing, but not at low cost.

In the dance of numbers, there is also something else, as the article written in 2019 by the former mayor of Pamplona, José Asirón, determined that the cost of the walkway was 1.2 million euros. In any case, Mayor Maya has shown that he is not afraid to stay small in the exaggerated, if he spent almost 640,000 euros to make a walkway, as this year he has put in San Fermín the flag of giant Navarre with a plaza of the outings for 100,000 euros.

Also in the limit of the expectation, in May 2012, the VIII Ibero-American Congress of Architecture and Urbanism. The Biennale awarded 26 buildings worldwide, including the Labrit walkway and its surroundings.

The News Journal has just published this week, so EUR 1.04 million has been spent on repairs. The opposition was in favour of abolishing the current walkway, as recommended by the studies carried out in the previous legislature, and of building the new one, charging the construction damages for defective construction to the company that built it. It wasn't done, and repair continues. The last item was approved by the Municipal Government of Pamplona on 5 July, on the eve of the Sanfermines, in the shadow of the festivities echoes, with an additional 122,000 euros. The City Hall says that the current repair costs will be charged as compensation to the companies that worked in the construction.

Works at present. Mayor Maya says that in a few weeks the catwalk will open.
