Disruptions on the L4 metro line to improve accessibility at the Ciutadella – Vila Olímpica station

The Bogatell – Barceloneta section of the L4 metro line will be out of service from 28 March to 1 April, coinciding with Easter week. Preliminary work will be carried out over these days that will allow for future improvements to accessibility at the Ciutadella – Vila Olímpica station without interrupting service. A special bus service is being laid on while this initial work is carried out.

The work entails building a protective cover that will later allow for the installation of three lifts for users to get from the street to the foyer and the platforms, along with improved access to trains with an extension to the platform and the introduction of a route for the blind, with different tactile paving.

At present, 93% of the metro network is adapted for people with reduced mobility (152 stations out of 163).

Alternative service

A special bus service will cover the route between the affected stations during the metro operating hours, passing every three or four minutes during rush hour.

In addition, the 6, 59, H14, H16 and D20 bus lines will cover the section out of service, while the L1 and L2 metro lines can also be used as an alternative for some journeys.
