Tram future
Since the modern tram system launched in 2004, the possibility was envisaged to connect Trambaix and Trambesòs. In September 2008 the mayor of Barcelona,
Jordi Hereu, said in a TV programme that in the near future (2011–2012) both tram networks would be connected along the
Diagonal Avenue. Despite the
Generalitat de Catalunya's efforts to promote it, the project remained on hold for over a decade. Finally in January 2019,
Barcelona's city council approved the project with support of mayoress Ada Colau.
The project is divided into two phases. Phase 1 extends the
Trambesòs network from
Glòries to
Verdaguer, serving
Monumental and Sicília along the way. Monumental will provide an interchange with Line 2 of the Barcelona Metro. Verdaguer will provide an interchange with
line 4 and
line 5. The route is 1.8km and has a travel time of 7 minutes. This phase entered construction in 2022 and is expected to be operational by 2024.
Phase 2 will link Verdaguer with
Francesc Macià, thus completing the connection of the two separate tram networks. This section would serve the stations of
Diagonal, Balmes and Casanova. Works are expected to begin once phase 1 has been completed.
