Overview

  • The €4.87 million project faced an 18-month construction phase and was delayed from its planned summer 2024 completion to June 2025.
  • The bridge sits atop 25-meter-high concrete piers and connects the N-150 corridor in Barberà del Vallès to the Baricentro sector.
  • Local residents and the 3 000 employees at Baricentro have welcomed the structure for eliminating a perilous, makeshift path.
  • Governing bodies including the Transport Ministry, Generalitat Valenciana and Adif coordinated with the local council to secure funding and approvals.
  • Regional authorities are also pushing to open a cycle-pedestrian overpass on the A-38 near Sueca-Fortaleny this month and to refurbish Barcelona’s centenary Marina street bridge.
