The board of directors of the Bilbao Port Authority (APB) has awarded the temporary joint venture formed by AccionaConstrucción S.A. and Altuna y Uria S.A. the contract to carry out the infill work on the left bank of Deusto canal. The project consists of filling in a fringe of the canal on public land assigned to the APB, to adapt it to the design stipulated in the Zorrotzaurre Special City Land-use Plan, thus lending continuity to the new bankside wharf executed with the opening of the Deusto canal.

Tomorrow, Thursday, the draw of the 112 subsidised homes comprising the housing development to be located on Zorrotzaurre plot SI-01 will take place among the 549 people who have applied to take part. The draw, which is organised by Amenabar Promociones in coordination with Bilbao City Hall and Etxebide, will begin at 19.00 hours at the Euskalduna Conference Centre.

ZAWP (Zorrotzaurre Art Workin Progress) has created a website (https://memoriaurbana.net/) which brings together reminders of what Zorrotzaurre was once like. This website aims to show information about the district’s social and economic cycles through images and interviews with neighbours and people who worked in companies on the island, in order to paint a picture of the social and architectural transformation the area underwent during the 20th century.
