Bilbao - Metro

Construction started in 1990 of the first section of a two-line meter-gauge metro. This is a 5km city-center tunnel between Lulxana and Casco Vieja, with seven stations; a later phase would see the tunnel extended to Basauri. At San Ignacio, the tunnel links with the meter-gauge ET/FV route to Plentzia, part of which is being grade-separated. The second phase would see a 10km line built from San Ignacio to Santurce via Cruces Llano and Urbinaga.
