These works are being carried out in the section between Laubideta and the confluence with the Sarria river, an area that has historically experienced overflows, especially during intense rainfall, causing problems for homes and infrastructure near the riverbed.
The main objective of the project is to increase the river's hydraulic capacity to reduce flood risk, while adapting the fluvial environment to current realities, with increased occupation of flood-prone areas, and to future scenarios marked by climate change.
The actions focus on the Traña-Matiena area, one of the municipality's most sensitive points, where water flow surges have caused significant damage on several occasions. This initiative is part of a broader plan to improve the Ibaizabal-Sarria fluvial system and aligns with the Hydrological Planning and the Flood Risk Management Plan of the Eastern Cantabrian Hydrographic Demarcation.
“"These reforms will also allow progress in the development of the local General Plan."
The project will be implemented through a collaboration agreement between URA and the local City Council. URA will cover the cost and execution of the works, while the City Council will provide the necessary land and assist in managing associated processes.
During this period, temporary inconveniences such as noise or the presence of machinery may occur. The competent institutions have committed to keeping citizens informed about the progress of the works and minimizing the impact on daily life in the area.
