The Leioa City Council has reported that repair work on the elevator connecting Txorierri and Lamiako has begun, following the arrival of the tractor unit (motor) from Germany. The service is expected to be restored by mid-October, after the intervention and technical checks are completed.
The breakdown occurred last February and affected the motor, a complex part manufactured exclusively in Germany and China, which has influenced the repair timelines.
Concurrently, the council has renewed the maintenance contract, obliging the awarded company to keep spare parts available, and is working on acquiring a replacement motor for future repairs.
While the elevator remains out of service, the free shuttle service is being maintained to facilitate residents' travel.
