Overview

• City officials set Oct. 9 for reopening the street to pedestrians, cyclists, and EMT buses, restoring service for lines 7, 8, and 19.
• Official messaging diverges on private cars, with one account allowing access from Oct. 9 and another pointing to year‑end.
• The project nears completion of an underground pedestrian link between the Metrovalencia stations of Xàtiva and Alacant.
• The rebuilt corridor includes wider sidewalks, more trees, a protected bike lane, and a single shared lane for buses and private vehicles.
• The EMT plan anticipates a new circular C9 using Alicante and Castellón with a regulation stop on Calle Castellón, which the city says will ease detours and relieve pressure on alternative routes.
