The Leioa City Council has announced that the municipal elevator connecting the Txorierri and Lamiako neighborhoods has resumed its service today, after the relevant repair work and necessary technical checks were completed.

The intervention repaired the fault affecting the elevator's motor. This required specific components sourced from Germany, which influenced and extended the repair timelines.
With the completion of the work, the elevator is operational again, resuming its function as a connection between the two areas and facilitating user travel.
The service restoration also marks the end of the temporary shuttle service provided by the Leioa City Council to aid residents' mobility during the elevator's downtime and mitigate inconvenience caused by the breakdown. This alternative transport service will operate until Sunday, October 25th, inclusive, now that the elevator is functioning normally again.
