Parkbadet, the swimming facility in Sandviken, Sweden, has been closed since Wednesday, March 26, after structural problems were discovered in the building's load-bearing construction. According to reports from Arbetarbladet, the municipality now plans to partially reopen certain sections of the facility next Tuesday.
Culture and leisure manager Kenneth Johansson stated, 'It's incredibly unfortunate that we have to keep it closed, we regret it.' He emphasized that safety is the top priority, saying, 'We're taking the safe route rather than the uncertain one and keeping the entire bath closed.'
