Rio Chillar bridge out of action

Once you get past Parque Verano Azul there are few places to cross the rio Chillar without getting your feet wet. The one ‘proper’ footbridge, near the Verano Azul bus depot, is now a shadow of its former self and downright dangerous.

Footbridge opens, at last

The pedestrian footbridge connecting Maro with the Nerja Caves was finally officially opened yesterday, two years after construction began.

Inauguration of footbridge

The new footbridge linking Maro with the Nerja Caves is to be officially inaugurated on December 22nd. The €1,2 million project has suffered delays of around five months due to technical and party political issues.

Maro footbridge to be ready in June

The footbridge to connect the Nerja Caves with the village of Maro, which became a bit of a political football during 2008, is now expected to be completed in June 2009.

Work to resume on Maro footbridge

The Ministry of Public Works is hoping to restart work on the bridge to connect the Nerja Caves and the village of Maro, a project which has been at a standstill since the summer.

THE BRIDGE FROM MARO TO THE NERJA CAVES

Earlier this month the mayor of Nerja, José Alberto Armijo, put a temporary stop to the construction of a bridge across the A-7 highway which was to connect the village of Maro to the Nerja Caves, citing the lack of the necessary permission from the Department of Culture as the construction was taking place on protected land.
