Major Renovation Set for Carrer de Pau Alsina
Work will begin on Monday 16 November 2026 to renovate Carrer de Pau Alsina in Barcelona’s Gràcia district, between Travessera de Gràcia and Carrer de Romans. The project, led by the Ajuntament de Barcelona’s Gràcia district office, aims to create a single platform street where the roadway and pavements are level, enhancing accessibility for pedestrians, including those with reduced mobility. The redesign will align with the existing layout of surrounding streets, promoting safer and more continuous movement through the neighbourhood. Improvements include upgrading the intersection with Carrer de Romans, installing new street lighting, and adding modern street furniture.
Access Restrictions in Place Until March
From 16 November until early March 2027, vehicle access to the affected section will be restricted. Only residents and essential service vehicles will be permitted entry during this period. Further disruptions are expected as work progresses, though the council will publish advance notice of any additional changes. The full renovation is scheduled for completion in June 2027. The initiative forms part of the city’s broader effort to prioritise walkability and public space quality in residential areas.
The transformation of Carrer de Pau Alsina will create a safer, more accessible environment for all residents and visitors.
Residents and local businesses are advised to plan access routes accordingly. Updates will be available via the Ajuntament de Barcelona’s Gràcia district website.
