The addition of the tram line will remove a lane from cars entering Barcelona along Diagonal Avenue

The City Council of Barcelona is preparing to tender works to connect the Trambaix and Trambesòs tram lines at Plaça Francesc Macià, a project expected to be completed by early 2031. This integration involves significant infrastructure changes along the Diagonal avenue, including the construction of a new stormwater collector and road modifications. As a result, private car traffic entering Barcelona via the B-23 highway will lose one lane, and two lanes in certain sections, with all vehicle traffic diverted to the side streets of the Diagonal. The total investment is approximately 217 million euros, split between the city council for urbanization and the Metropolitan Transport Authority for infrastructure and rolling stock. Construction is scheduled to begin in summer 2027, immediately after municipal elections, and will last for 44 months while maintaining two shared lanes per direction for buses and cars.
