La Rambla construction moves into Phase 2
Since June 16, the works have entered a new stage, with construction underway on the Raval side. This phase is expected to last 10 months.
The recovery of La Rambla as the city’s central hub is a priority during this mandate, in order to boost economic and commercial promotion and diversification and promote cultural activities that reconnect it with the city's residents and encourage them to use it as a space for strolling and socialising. The new layout will also improve accessibility and connections between the neighbourhoods of El Raval and El Gòtic.
Below is important information about the Rambla remodelling process, a comprehensive urban planning project with physical, social, cultural and economic dimensions.

THE PROJECT
Barcelona's boulevard
The work will be carried out longitudinally along the entire stretch of La Rambla, reducing the duration of the project in comparison to the time needed were it divided into sections.
Access to homes, shops, and car parks will be fully guaranteed, and loading and unloading will be restricted to the areas designated for this purpose. As a result, there will be disruptions to the bus lines that currently run along La Rambla, and when the time comes, appropriate information about alternative routes and transport options will be provided.
There will also be an impact in public transportOpen in a new window and on the waste collection service, both for residents and commercial businesses.
Community
The boulevard of the people
The Rambla project has made progress thanks to the work of the Rambla Community which operates through two committees: the Cultural Organisations committee and the Cultural Institutions committee.
Their work has led to the implementation of the “Rambla cultural line” which has culturally re-energised the different Àgores. A total of 100 activities have been scheduled through the involvement of about seventy of these social and cultural agents seeking to enrich their projects and opened them to the general public.
