The Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa, through its provincial company Bidegi, will allocate 14.9 million euros in 2026 and 2027 to rehabilitate 46 kilometers of road surface across the territory's road network.

This initiative aims to continuously improve road safety and the condition of the road surface on Gipuzkoa's high-capacity network, as explained by the provincial institution. The works will be carried out in two phases: in 2026, approximately 21 kilometers will be renovated across 13 different sections; in the second phase, in 2027, the remaining 25 kilometers will be rehabilitated, completing the planned 46 kilometers.
