The Fan Village for the Formula 1 Grand Prix is being held in Plaça Catalunya during the week of 15 June. A roadshow in Passeig de Gràcia will also mean various disruptions to mobility from 18 to 20 June.
A group of Formula 1 drivers will be in action in Passeig de Gràcia on Wednesday, 19 June, driving around a small circuit from Ronda Sant Pere to C/ Aragó and then back to the start line.
The display means some disruptions to mobility in this area. Restrictions will be gradually applied, starting at 4 pm on 18 June and ending at 6 am on 20 June, for private vehicles in the following streets:
- Ronda de Sant Pere and Ronda de la Universitat (between Pau Claris and Rambla de Catalunya)
- Plaça de Catalunya (Bèsos side and road surface nearest the mountains)
- Passeig de Gràcia (between Plaça de Catalunya and Gran Via)
- Carrer de Casp (between Passeig de Gràcia and Pau Claris)
On the same day of 18 June, traffic will be restricted from 10 pm in:
- Passeig de Gràcia (between Gran Via and C/ Aragó), without affecting intersecting streets
On 19 June, the day when most disruptions apply, new restrictions will be in place from 11 am to 11 pm, with the section between Rambla Catalunya and C/ Pau Claris and the three streets that cross Passeig de Gràcia closed to traffic:
- Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes
