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

'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 the support of mayor 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 opened in November 2024.
Phase 2 will link Verdaguer with
