Projects
The main work consisted of the demolition of the circular flyover in Plaza de les Glòries. The work included execution of all the provisional diversions necessary for the phased demolition of the existing flyover and, finally, paving of the surface of the completed roads.
The area of action was in the Plaza de les Glòries: hub of the main roads in the city of Barcelona, such as Avinguda Meridiana, Gran Via de Les Corts Catalanes and Avinguda Diagonal.
As the work directly affected these roads, actions were scheduled for weekends and nights, with the aim of minimising the impact on traffic. In addition, during the work, traffic was diverted to alternative routes so that road users and public transport were not affected.
