Disruptions to mobility for the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2024
All the streets around the route for seventh stage of the competition will be closed to traffic during the event on Sunday, 24 March. The stage starts and finishes in city, with disruptions in the district of Sants-Montjuïc, also affecting various bus services.
The first restrictions start at 6 am on Saturday, with a prohibition on parking until 3 pm on Sunday in: Pl. Carles Buïgas, Pl. Espanya, Av. Reina Maria Cristina and sections of C/ Guàrdia Urbana, Pg. Santa Madrona, Av. Miramar, Ctra. Montjuïc, Pl. Sardana, Pg. Olímpic, from Pg. Migdia, C/ Segons Jocs Mediterranis and C/ Joaquim Blume. Restrictions will be in place until 5 pm in some sections of Av. Reina Maria Cristina, Av. Rius i Taulet and Av. Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia.
On Sunday, traffic disruptions start in Av. Reina Maria Cristina and in sections of Av. Rius i Taulet and Av. Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia, from 6.30 am to 5 pm, for assembly and dismantling work. From 9 am to 3 pm, the restrictions will extend to the rest of the streets: Pl. Carles Buïgas, Av. Estadi, Mirador del Palau Nacional, Pl.

Montanyans.
As with car park entrances, traffic circulation will be reestablished once the last cyclist goes by. The stage ends with a circuit that will restrict circulation in the Parc de Montjuïc, meaning that the last disruptions will be in the streets inside the park (with the exception of the locations of assembly and dismantling work).
The traffic restrictions in place for the longest periods will be in Av. Reina Maria Cristina and Av. Rius i Taulet, lasting from 6.30 am to 5 pm on Sunday. The rest of the disruptions will be staggered:
- From 10.30 am to 11 am, in C/ Creu Coberta, C/ Moianès and Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, from C/ Moianès to Pl. Cerdà.
- From 12 noon to 1 pm, in Gran Via CC, from Pl. Cerdà to Pl. Espanya.
- From 12 noon to 2.30 pm there will be a circuit that restricts circulation in the Parc de Montjuïc. The route will go along: Av. Rius i Taulet, C/ Guàrdia Urbana, Pg. Santa Madrona, Av. Estadi, Av. Miramar, Ctra. Montjuïc, Pl. Sardana, Av. Castell, Pg. Migdia, Pg. Olímpic, Pl. Sant Jordi and Av. Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia.
Car park entrances will be reestablished in the same way as traffic restrictions, once the last cyclist goes by.
