The conservation group will immediately urge the City of Murcia to remove all those elements that are contrary to cultural norms that are still anchored to the bridge, and in their protection environment, such as antennas, wiring, electrical boxes, etc. .

The Association for the Conservation of the Heritage and the Garden of Murcia (Huermur) achieves definitive protection as a Property of Cultural Interest BIC, with the category of monument, the Old Bridge or the Dangers of the city of Murcia, which was requested by Huermur in the year 2018.

Huermur celebrates that the oldest bridge that is preserved today in Murcia, and that constitutes an engineering work of the eighteenth century of the first order, already has the proper protection under the Cultural Heritage Law.

But he points out that it has taken five years, two attempts and two files to reach this BIC statement, since the Ministry of Culture expired the previous file by not meeting the deadlines, which fortunately in this second file is not has produced.

The conservation group, and once the BIC statement is published in the official bulletin, will immediately urge the City of Murcia to remove all those elements contrary to the cultural regulations that are still anchored to the bridge, and in its protection environment, such as antennas, wiring, electrical boxes, etc.

so that this important monument of all Murcia looks as it should.

Huermur will also request from Culture and the Consistory the rehabilitation and enhancement of the hidden vault under the temple of the Virgen de los Peligros, since today it is a constant focus of unhealthiness, and is permanently locked with key after a door.

A situation, they emphasize from the group, which prevents Murcia from knowing a unique part of the emblematic monument, so it is necessary that it be opened to the public.

Finally, the president of Huermur, Sergio Pacheco, said: "Today is an important day for the cultural heritage of Murcia, because the BIC protection file of the Old Bridge is completed after years of work, achieving the necessary protection as a monument Now it is up to the administrations involved to take care of it and keep it in proper condition. From Huermur we will be vigilant. "
