Around 6:50pm, traffic will also be isolated on Avinguda de Rius i Taulet between Carrer de Mèxic and Carrer de la Guàrdia Urbana to help vehicle movements.
Parking has been banned on both carriageways of Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina since 8am on Saturday, 23 May, and the restriction will stay in place until midnight tonight, Sunday, 24 May. The city says the plan is designed to keep traffic moving and support the event.
