Barcelona City Council is implementing a significant mobility plan to manage traffic and public transport during the Grand Départ of the Tour de France. This major cycling event will bring considerable changes to how people move around the city, according to officials.
The plan addresses the anticipated increase in visitors and the need to accommodate the race routes. Residents and commuters should expect diversions and potential delays, particularly in areas directly affected by the cycling stages.

The mobility strategy focuses on minimising disruption while ensuring the smooth running of the prestigious race. It includes measures for road closures, alternative routes, and enhanced public transport services. The council is encouraging the use of metro and bus services where possible, advising against private vehicle use in central areas during the event.
Further details on specific road closures and public transport adjustments are expected to be released closer to the event date. The council aims to keep citizens informed through various channels, including its official website and local news outlets.
