Work gets under way this summer to continue covering the Ronda de Dalt, between the Institut Vall d’Hebron and Avinguda de Vallcarca. The project will create 350 metres of public space in addition to the nearly 200 metres already completed. This makes for a total of over 20,000 m2 of new public space, with more trees and large parterres with vegetation.

The work is the first step in the major transformation of the neighbourhoods near the ring road: calmer space with less traffic, new spaces for people to spend time in, more greenery, less noise and better environmental quality.

The 'health district'

The Horta-Guinardó district will support the health of local residents, with major new facilities for the whole city linked to the main hospitals (such as the new outpatient building for the Hospital de la Vall d’Hebron), the future headquarters of the Public Health Agency and new health education events at the Institut Vall d’Hebron.

How will the work be carried out?

1. Preliminary work has already taken place, including the removal of the trees on the ring road.
2. This summer, the first phase of the works project was carried out to construct the structure, placing a T-shaped central concrete wall down the middle of the ring road which will support the surface slabs. 
3. The covered section will be regarded as a new tunnel. This means that six emergency exits need to be created, three on each side of the road.
4. Work on the installations inside the new tunnel will begin in the summer of 2025. Work on the structure and the installations will be completed in May 2027.
5. As from May 2027, the new surface will be developed. This will take roughly a year and will be completed according to the Pacte per la ronda de Dalt participatory process. The sessions for this process start in autumn 2024.

This September 2024, the work to construct the wall down the middle of the Ronda de Dalt ring road was completed, which will support the slabs of the future covered structure on the stretch of the road between Institut Vall d'Hebron and Avinguda de Vallcarca.

This first phase of the works began on 27 June and finished on 11 September, and has entailed closing a lane to traffic in both directions, along a 650-metre stretch of the road. 

Now, the work includes the construction of six emergency exits and a technical room. Work will be carried out along the sides of Pg. Vall d’Hebron and disruptions will be minimal.
