Barcelona City Council plans to replace the mechanical escalators on Roma Street in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district, a move aimed at improving pedestrian access in the city.
The council says the current escalators have reached the end of their operational life, so a full replacement is needed to maintain safety and efficiency.
The new system is expected to use updated technology, with the council saying this should improve reliability and reduce maintenance needs. It is also intended to limit disruption for daily commuters and nearby businesses.
No start date for the works has been announced yet, and the council says more details are expected soon. For readers following local updates across the city, see our news coverage.
The project fits into wider efforts by Barcelona to modernise urban infrastructure and support accessible movement through busy pedestrian areas. Similar upgrades have been carried out in other parts of the city.
