Access to the tunnel has been redesigned so that no lane is lost and the entrance to the subway fits in as harmoniously as possible with the environment (sidewalks and zebra crossings), another of the requests from residents, who until on the railings of the construction have expressed their opinion.

It will be less bulky than in your initial sketch.

The neighborhood and the merchants, punished in recent years by the colossal work of the Bernabéu and sensitive to more reforms, expressed their reluctance after learning that the cranes would continue in the surroundings.

The consistory directed by

has listened to their requests and thrown pedagogy.

“We have improved the project.

The same surface parking spaces are maintained and two new car parks are gained”, sums up Carabante, delegate for the environment and mobility of the City Council of the capital.

He is referring to the two public super car parks that will cause this change between Paseo de la Habana and Padre Damián, with a total capacity of 1,846 spaces, of which 617 will be for residents.

Your monthly fee will not exceed 125 euros.

You will enter the car park through the Paseo de la Habana by-pass, just before coming to the Plaza de los Sagrados Corazones, famous for being the meeting point for the Madrid fans to receive the bus of the players on the great European nights .

Right there, the underground access will appear, in the form of two lanes, which will allow both the entrance to the car parks and driving towards Padre Damián, leaving at the end of the street, near the Eurobuilding.

In this way, the traffic passing through to Alberto Alcocer will be able to circulate underground and the local traffic or the one that goes to the school centers of the street will go on the surface.

Precisely, to avoid the congestion that now occurs at the doors of the schools, with double and even triple lines of parents, a kiss&ride lane will be opened to drop off and pick up students in an orderly and safe manner.

"The by-pass is not going to attract more cars," says Carabante, regarding another of the neighborhood fears.

«Our studies tell us that the movement up and down the city is through the Castellana.

And in fact, with this project traffic will be reduced by 25% in Sagrados Corazones”, says the mobility delegate.

In addition, on the days of the event, residents will be able to use the by-pass to reach their homes, without suffering the cuts in the area that now occur.

"On those days, residents will be able to travel, not like up to now," Carabante stresses.

The by-pass and the car parks will be joined by the construction of the new Santiago Bernabéu Metro station that GRAN MADRID carried out exclusively and which will replace the current old one.

It will double its capacity and will be 100% accessible, with 24 stairs and 12 elevators.
