Bridge, Tennis and Metro...

One of my loyal readers has answered a lot of questions about the goings on around the Science Area with the new bridge and tennis stadium etc. Read on and you will be in the loop! Thank heaps for that Anuschka

Hi Bridget!

I just read your post in the cronica regarding the new bridge L'Assut de l'Or. I attach a newpaper article (el mundo) from last week about it.

There they say that actually they wanted to open the bridge for the Formula1. When they saw that they won't make it they said they would get it done for the day of the comunidad valenciana on the 9th of october. But they won't make this either. Now they say that there is no hurry about it and they try to open it by the end of october but they didn't give any exact date.

And there is an other interesting article (las provicias) from yesterday about the subestación electrica (powerstation) that iberdrola is planning underneath the round-about just there. And that the neighborhood is fighting against those plans. What is not mentioned in the article is that the new metro line T-2 will be crossing the bridge and the round-about. I think it's not sure yet if it will continue in c/ pintor maella or in c/ menorca.

Yes the big building next to the bridge (called Ágora) will be hosting the ATP tennis tournament. But I don't know when it will open....

That's the news. ;)
