Work on improving the link between Basauri and the A-8 has been completed, after 26 months of work
The project has involved an investment of $5.36 million to adapt containment and signalling systems.
The Department of Infrastructure and Territorial Development has completed the road improvement work carried out in the last two years on the A-8 link in Basauri, in the vicinity of the Malmasin tunnel, with the renovation of obsolete containment systems and the improvement of signage throughout the link and around the tunnel, in order to comply with the current road safety conditions, due to the obsolescence of the existing barriers.
The installation of the new fences has required highly specialized work, including demolition and demolition by water with robots on the edges of the structures, in order to consolidate and remove the old systems prior to the installation of pretiles and new ones, using specific methods and establishing precise working hours to minimize the impact on traffic, especially on access to the Malmasin tunnel.
The works have been so difficult that it has been necessary to work at night around the tunnel for more than two years. A total of 80 times the pipe has been cut during the night with bypass . The link to Basauri consists of 22 structures — bridges, underground passages and walls — and in all there have been obsolete containment systems, which must necessarily be renovated.
In total, 1,196 m² have been demolished using robots through water, one kilometre of metal pretile has been installed and six kilometres of new containment barriers have been installed.
The connection to Basauri is very complex, as 59,000 vehicles pass through it every day. If anything changes in signalling or beacons, drivers immediately become aware of it and form queues. In fact, during the time they have been doing these tasks, they have happened by chance.
With this action, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia maintains its road safety prevention policy as a priority to intervene in strategic areas of the network in order to minimise risks and avoid serious consequences for accidents.
The work began in September 2023 and has therefore lasted 26 months, with an investment of 5,360,946.42 euros.
