Surfacing as part of the Comprehensive Maintenance Plan
The work corresponds to the action set out in the Comprehensive Maintenance Plan, within the context of the Pla Endreça, which is set to renew 600,000 m2 of asphalt between now and 2028 with a budget of 28.9 million euros.
These measures have been planned and should prevent incidents and the deterioration of public space all around the city. Surfacing work has also been carried out in other major roads in the city, such as Rambla Catalunya, Via Júlia and in the coastal neighbourhoods.
