The Catalan government plans to put the calming of the N-II road in Mataró out to tender this summer, with a budget of €9 million, according to a Europa Press report published on 18 July 2026.

The scheme forms part of the Generalitat's wider plan to change the N-II through the Maresme into a route better integrated with towns and the seafront, with the stated aims of safer, more sustainable travel. For Mataró residents, drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, the eventual changes could alter how space is shared on the coastal road, although no traffic restrictions or construction diversions have yet been published.

Summer tender, with work planned for the following winter

Europa Press reported that the government expects to launch the tender during summer 2026 and schedule construction to begin in the following winter. The report is the source of that timetable, rather than a published tender notice.

  • Location: the N-II in Mataró, in the Maresme coastal county.
  • Planned tender value: €9 million.
  • Timetable reported by Europa Press: tender in summer 2026, with works due to begin the following winter.

El Periódico separately reported on 18 July that construction would begin from 2027. Neither of the supplied reports gives a precise start date, nor details of temporary road arrangements during the works.

Wider N-II plan includes lanes, cycle route and crossings

In an earlier official announcement on the wider Mataró-to-Montgat section, the Generalitat's Department of Territory said its planned urban-integration project covered 13 kilometres of the N-II and had an estimated investment of €18 million.

That broader proposal includes a continuous cycle lane, wider pavements and service areas, one traffic lane in each direction, a lower maximum speed, improved junctions and new roundabouts. The official announcement says the technical project will define the final works and configuration, so it does not confirm which of those measures will be included in the separate €9 million Mataró tender.

Residents and road users can monitor the Generalitat's official N-II Maresme announcement for published project information. The materials provided do not identify a public consultation date or an official tender portal for the Mataró works.
