In 2012, the Port of Barcelona initiated an <\/span>expansion towards the south<\/a>. To improve access, the government of Catalonia collaborated with the port authorities in creating a strategic plan. <\/a>The focus was on the Coastal Ring Road (B-10 or Ronda Litoral de Barcelona) and the Corridor de Llobregat since they are the primary links between the port and the metropolitan area. These road infrastructures are heavily used by the city, which often leads to traffic congestion, limiting the port’s capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Llobregat area, the new rail access is part of the <\/span>Mediterranean Corridor<\/a> (Annex I of Regulation [EU] No. 1315\/2013<\/a>). Part of the project was concluded in 2018<\/a>, and it is estimated that the new access absorbs around 70% of the port rail traffic. The Coastal Ring Road project was also initiated in 2013, and in 2019, it went under environmental impact evaluation. The resolution<\/a> was published in 2022, and in 2023, the project is still cited as under development on the municipality page<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new road access points, the expansion of the coastal ring road and the separation of port and city traffic flows provide opportunities for rail-road transport. Creating this new access infrastructure and rehabilitating the spaces involved will open the way for new uses for the Port City interface. <\/span><\/p>\n
