The Eibar City Council will promote the improvement of the Azitain curves, a strategic action aimed at reinforcing road safety in one of the busiest and most complex points of the city's urban and industrial environment. The project's report is currently being drafted, and the work is expected to be put out to tender this month.
The intervention has a budget of 1,417,709.47 euros, including VAT, and an estimated execution period of six months.
The Azitain curves constitute a particularly sensitive point in the regional road network, due to the confluence of the N-634 road, the accesses to the industrial park, and the connections to the AP-8 motorway in the vicinity of the Maltzaga junction. It is an area with a significant volume of traffic, especially heavy vehicles, where it is necessary to improve circulation conditions and access.
In the coming months, improvement works will be carried out on the Azitain curves to impact road safety and the economic activity of the industrial park.
The mayor of Eibar, Jon Iraola, has highlighted the importance of this action from both a safety and economic development perspective: «We are talking about a necessary intervention in a strategic point for Eibar. We want to improve safety and mobility, but also continue preparing our city for the future. Having adequate infrastructure is fundamental to strengthening our industrial activity and generating new opportunities».
In this regard, the project is also part of the municipal strategy to modernize and improve Eibar's industrial parks, making them more attractive and competitive for companies. The objective is to facilitate the activity of companies already established and create better conditions to attract new companies and investments to the city.
“"The companies in the industrial park have been requesting this action for some time, and we must provide all possible facilities to those who develop their economic activity in Eibar. This improvement will be complemented by a reinforcement of the public transport connection to the Azitain industrial park. There is real demand."
“"This action will allow us to address a significant improvement in an environment that requires more adequate access and circulation conditions. We are working to ensure that our industrial areas have modern, safe infrastructure adapted to current needs."
This intervention is complemented by other planned actions for the Azitain industrial park. Specifically, 910,000 euros from ZAP funds have been allocated to improve the park's road and pedestrian accesses, thereby reinforcing the accessibility and usability of this business space.
With these investments, the Eibar City Council continues to advance in the improvement of its industrial infrastructures, betting on better-prepared, more accessible, and competitive industrial parks, and on a city model that combines safety, economic activity, and job creation.
