The director general of Collective Transport Infrastructures, during his appearance before the Housing, Transport and Infrastructure Commission of the Assembly, assured that there is “no additional risk” nor are impacts foreseen on other buildings, beyond those already affected by the Line 7B crisis. He highlighted that data recorded by over 500 devices, both on the surface and in the tunnel, confirm the ground's stability.
Line 7B has been operating with “full guarantee” since its full reopening on November 22, having transported over 3.3 million passengers during this period. Concurrently, works have been carried out on several roads near the affected area, covering approximately 11,000 square meters across five different streets. Interventions in La Presa alley, Francisco Sabatini street, and a section of Rafael Alberti have already concluded, and a significant section of Nazario Calonge street is expected to be returned to residents this May.
The future urban park will feature sports, children's, and recreational areas, adapted for different ages, as well as shaded and unshaded spaces to ensure user comfort. The project includes 2,800 square meters of walkways, 800 of which will be under pergolas to provide sun protection. These actions are coordinated with the San Fernando de Henares City Council, and technical commissions remain active to urbanistically reorganize the affected area.
“"All our recorded auscultation and instrumentation data, through more than 500 devices, not only on the surface but also in the tunnel, show total ground stability."
Regarding aid for those affected, the Community has defended its responsibility, reviewing the orders opened since 2022 to process compensation. The first order in February 2022 resolved 78 cases. A second, in 2024, opened 23 cases, of which 18 are finalized. The latest, launched in April 2025, already totals 256 cases for functional damages. The victim support office, operational since October 2022, has handled over 2,039 inquiries, issued 500 technical reports, and conducted approximately 300 home visits to assess damages.
“"The Community has indeed assumed its responsibility."
For her part, a socialist deputy criticized the management, stating that an electoral decision “sank a municipality and took away the lives” of the affected residents. She also lamented that the regional president focused on an institutional trip instead of addressing the families' “social drama.”
