From June 2022 to November 2023.

C/ Pi i Margall will be transformed into a green corridor where plants prevail and which prioritises pedestrians, bicycles and public transport. Not only that, it will become a new green corridor connecting Parc de la Ciutadella with the Collserola range.

One of the notable aspects of the remodelling is the elimination of asphalt and reduction of space allocated to traffic. In fact, 70% of the whole area will be for pedestrians and greenery, resting areas will be created and pavements widened, to 12 metres at some points.

As for mobility, priority will be given to local vehicle and bus travel, with speeds limited to 30 km/hr. There will be an uphill lane for buses and local traffic, as well as a new segregated bike lane, and a shared downhill lane for buses, local traffic and bicycles.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS:

Access to C/ Encarnació from C/ Pi i Margall (side nearest the Besòs) will be closed from 11 to 25 June.

HIGHLIGHTS:

PEDESTRIANS. Pavements on C/ Pi i Margall in the areas where work is being carried out have a safe, signposted walkway for pedestrians.

BUS (numbers in green on the map). Owing to the closure of C/ Pi i Margall and the access to C/ Encarnació from 11 to 25 June, there will be changes to the V19 and 114 bus services, with the existing bus-stop in C/ Encarnació being moved to C/ Pau Alsina. The distribution of stops will therefore be as follows:

• Two stops in the downward direction: at the junction between the streets of Pi i Margall, Encarnació and Sardenya (1) and at C/ Pi i Margall, 7 (2).
• Two stops in the upward direction: at C/ Pi i Margall, 18 (3), and on C/ Pau Alsina, after C/ Legalitat (4).

VEHICLES (numbers in red on the map). Mobility for vehicles in C/ Pi i Margall will be as follows:

• In the direction of the sea: vehicles can use C/ Pi i Margall from Rda. Guinardó as far as C/ Escorial (blue arrow on the map).
• In the direction of the mountains: the section between C/ Escorial and Rda. Guinardó means using the streets of Pi i Margall, Pau Alsina and Camèlies (green arrow on the map).
• Road closure at the junction of C/ Sant Lluís and C/ Pi i Margall. Vehicles will be diverted along C/ Ca l’Alegre de Dalt to then rejoin C/ Pi i Margall (1).
• C/ Providència, between C/ Pi i Margall and C/ Sardenya, will no longer be open to traffic, and will form part of a new pedestrianised space. Access to C/ Providència will be from C/ Sardenya (2).
• The junction of C/ Encarnació and C/ Pi i Margall will be closed from 11 to 25 June, making the section from C/ Ventalló a dead end, with access only for authorised parking and services. The direction of traffic will also be changed in C/ Ventalló, between the streets of Encarnació and Taxdirt (3).

LOADING AND UNLOADING. The current distribution of loading and unloading areas will remain unchanged.
