Major traffic restrictions in Bilbao caused by the UPV graduation ceremony and the anniversary of Iberdrola
The biggest restrictions will be from 8:00, when several streets and the bridges of La Salve and Deusto will be closed.
Bilbao is facing numerous traffic restrictions this afternoon due to the simultaneous celebration of the graduation festival of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the celebration of the 125th anniversary of Iberdrola. Both events have been organized in the same area of the city centre — in the vicinity of San Mamés and in the park Doña Casilda — affecting both traffic and public transport.
The Iberdrola Music Fest, organized to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Iberdrola, will begin at 4.30 p.m. in the pergola of Doña Casilda Park with a series of concerts by Süne (16.30), Rigoberta Bandini (17.35), Antonio Or. (19.10) and Juanes (20.45).
UPV festival
The UPV/EHU graduation festival, for its part, will officially begin at 6:30 p.m. in San Mamés, although participants will be able to use the photographic spaces from 4:00 p.m. , which will be attended by Nogen, Janus Lester and Eñaut Elorrieta, as well as bertsolaris Maialen Lujanbio and Amets Arzallus.
As a result of these events, access to garages and parking spaces in the affected areas will be cut off and several Bilbobus lines will have to modify their usual routes.
The biggest restrictions will be imposed from 8:00 p.m., when Abandoibarra Avenue, University Avenue, Deusto and La Salve Bridges, Euskadi Square, Lehendakari Leizaola Street and Pedro Arrupe Pedestrian Pass will be closed, among others.
