Lazkao City Council has announced that the new public elevator in the San Jose neighborhood will be operational in the coming weeks. Located between buildings 19 and 21, on municipal land, it will overcome an approximate four-meter height difference, enhancing accessibility in this area of the town.
Construction is nearly complete, and the necessary procedures with Iberdrola are currently being finalized. Once all permits are obtained, the elevator will be activated for public use. The project included the installation of the elevator, a glass enclosure, and site adaptation, integrating the new infrastructure into the urban environment and providing a more convenient and accessible option for residents' daily commutes.
The new facility will be particularly beneficial for individuals with mobility issues, as well as for those using strollers, shopping carts, or other items difficult to transport up stairs. Consequently, the new infrastructure aims to remove architectural barriers and make the neighborhood more accessible, comfortable, and safer for everyone.
The contract for the works was awarded to Construcciones M.B. Antio S.L.L. for an amount of 166,542.76 euros (excluding VAT). The launch of the new elevator will improve accessibility in Lazkao's San Jose neighborhood and facilitate the daily movements of its residents.
