In reply to johncook:
Fixing the road was not really connected to the Camino del Rey work. It was about ensuring access to the car park outside the campsite, as well as ensuring that the maintenance vehicles could get further up the road to the electrical sub-station.
The village lives off the tourists and climbers going there so closing the access to the gorge for two years is mental, as you can't walk through the tunnels or go on the rail line without getting fined. The village might suffer as consequence, unless part of the deal is to subsidise them with hand-outs.
The other thing is if they do make some kind of caged walkway, ie with a roof to protect from the rocks that come down, then that more or less rules out the start of a lot of routes, and possibly the abbing off to the start of many others.
