Overview

• The crossing over the Barranco del Poyo reopened on August 21 to vehicles and pedestrians, restoring the link with Alaquàs and reinstating Metrobús lines 170 and 106.
• The €1.9 million project was fully financed by Spain’s Ministry of Territorial Policy as part of emergency aid for municipal infrastructure damaged by the October 29 storm.
• Engineers led by Juan Chiquillo rebuilt the tímpanos with roughly 20 tonnes of sillería, installed 23 dovelas and used a lightweight central slab to respect the 19th-century design.
• Flood-resilience measures include a continuous deck, strengthened foundations and protective riprap to better withstand high flows and heavier modern loads.
• Around twenty people protested the Generalitat’s handling of the Dana during the ceremony, directing chants at president Carlos Mazón despite his absence.
