New high voltage line between La Bordeta and El Poble-sec

Between July and September, Endesa will be renewing 5 km of a 110 kV power line crossing the whole district of Sants-Montjuïc, from Av. Carrilet to C/ Vila i Vilà, passing through Gran Via and the foot of Montjuïc. The conduit will be installed by opening up a trench for three polyethylene pipes of 20 cm, all encased in concrete, at 80 cm below ground under pavements and 1.50 metres beneath road surfaces. Work will be carried out in five main stages, with four teams working simultaneously on the different sections. Check the calendar for the main disruptions to traffic caused by this work, planned for the summer.

The route for the conduit starts at the Sants sub-station, in the municipality of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, and will run as far as the Mata sub-station in Poble-sec, also being routed through the Hostafrancs sub-station along the way. Cabling will use some sections of the exiting conduit, meaning there is no need to open up a new trench.

Section 3.1 – Av. Rius i Taulet between the streets of Guàrdia Urbana and Lleida. From 2 to 19 August.
Installation of the conduit beneath the pavement nearest the mountain, affecting only one of the two Besòs-bound traffic lanes, from the junction with C/ Guàrdia Urbana as far as a new connection chamber (CE-07) beneath the road surface. From here to C/ Lleida, the conduit will also run beneath the road surface. In this section, closest to C/ Lleida, road closure in Av. Rius i Taulet in direction to Llobregat, and all vehicles will be diverted into Segons Jocs Mediterranis and Guàrdia Urbana streets.

Section 3.2 – Junction with C/ Lleida. Weekend 20 and 21 August.
Work at the junction will be carried out in two halves, leaving an uphill traffic lane open at all times but closing the junction to downhill traffic from Pg. Santa Madrona (only local residents, services, and buses will be able to access C/ Jocs dels Mediterrani). The road closure in the downhill direction will be by C/ França Xica, which all vehicles will be diverted into. Bus 55 will not go into the neighbourhood, instead heading down Maria Cristina towards Av. Paral·lel.

From 1/08/2022 to 8/08/2022, C/ Mare de Déu del Remei will be closed to allow for the conduit to cross over, with buses to be diverted along C/ Guàrdia Urbana. The junction with C/ França Xica will not be affected in this stage.

Sections 4 and 7 – Pg. Exposició between Radas and Creu dels Molers. From 15/10/2022 to 12/11/2022.
The execution of a chamber of electrical wiring connections under the road occupies the service lane of the Besòs side and forces the two traffic lanes, one in each direction, to deviate a little. The stop for bus 55 is permanently moved to the Creu dels Molers street.

Two crossovers will be needed in the road surface in C/ Mineria, one on each side of this square.
