The Bilbao City Council has cordoned off the central section of Plaza Nueva as a precautionary measure. This action follows the detection of leaks in the underground parking facility, necessitating a thorough inspection.

Municipal sources have advised against holding non-standard events on the plaza's structure until further notice, while technical assessments are underway to guarantee public safety.

This initial phase involves technical analysis to evaluate the infrastructure's condition and the extent of the damage. Municipal technical services will continuously monitor the inspection work and its findings.
