Court Halts Bernabéu Parking Project

Published: 2024-09-27

A Madrid court has ordered the suspension of construction work on two parking lots and a tunnel near the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, a project initially authorized by the Madrid City Council.

The court's decision follows a previous ruling in May that annulled the project's administrative approval due to "lack of public interest" and "environmental damage.

" Despite this, the City Council continued the construction, pending an appeal.

The recent court order mandates an indefinite halt to the works, affecting both the City Council and Real Madrid, the club managing the project.

The ruling highlights the ongoing legal challenges faced by the City Council and Real Madrid, who have 15 days to appeal.

The local residents' association, which filed the lawsuit, celebrates the decision as a victory in their long-standing battle against the project.
