The Errenteria City Council today launched the new urban elevator connecting the Pontika neighborhood with Beraun's Luis Mariano square. This project, with a budget of 1,181,070.47 euros, corresponds to the first phase and has also adapted an accessible pedestrian route. The new connection will facilitate access from Pontika to the Galtzaraborda Euskotren station or the municipal Euskaltegi.
The second phase is already in the tendering process and will fully complete the pedestrian axis between Igantzi and Pontika. The budget for this second phase is 1,691,618.64 euros, and the works are expected to last approximately 14 months.
Furthermore, starting today, the operating hours of the urban elevators will be extended. The elevators will begin operating at 05:00 (instead of 06:00), and on weekends, the service will be extended until 03:00 in the morning (currently until 01:00). The regular schedule will be from 05:00 to 01:00, and on weekends from 05:00 to 03:00.
Next Monday, November 2nd, maintenance work will be carried out on the urban elevator located at the lower part of Sorgintxulo. Consequently, the service will be out of order from 08:00 to 15:00, aiming to improve service safety and quality.
