The Minister of Culture, Language and Youth, José López Campos, announced today that the Xunta de Galicia has just awarded nearly €200,000 for the second phase of the restoration of the medieval bridge of Fillaboa, in the Pontevedra municipality of Salvaterra de Miño. The infrastructure, of historical and heritage interest, will have an estimated execution period of six months.
This construction, 75 meters long and composed of four pointed arches, was already the subject of a first intervention in 2015 by the Galician government for €117,000 to "resolve a series of pathologies, resulting from erosion caused by the passage of time and also by the strong currents of the Tea river".
The new works will complete the "actions necessary to repair the damage and ensure its stability". It was pointed out that, among other actions, pillar foundations will be laid, steel tie rods will be installed, and cracks will be repaired.
