Girona City Council will begin urbanisation works in August on the Mas Gri park-and-ride at the southern entrance to the city, a project that matters to commuters because it is intended to add more than 200 parking spaces and reduce the number of cars entering the urban centre.

The council says the site is designed to support onward travel by public transport, bicycle and other lower-emission options. For drivers coming into Girona from the south, the project is intended to create a place to leave the car before continuing the journey into the city.

What the project includes and why it affects daily travel

The planned car park is in Mas Gri, at Girona's southern access. The council has presented it as a dissuasive car park, meaning a park-and-ride facility intended to intercept vehicles before they reach the centre.

That matters for residents and regular commuters because Girona has been trying to ease pressure on central streets while improving connections with more sustainable transport. The city's mobility department has previously described the scheme as a step forward in that strategy.

  • Start of works: August 2026
  • Location: Mas Gri, at the southern entrance to Girona
  • Planned capacity: more than 200 parking spaces
  • Purpose: reduce vehicle entry into the city centre
  • Intended alternatives: public transport, bicycle and other sustainable travel

Contract awarded for €844,580 with a nine-month timetable

According to the official contracting record published through the Generalitat de Catalunya public procurement platform, the works were awarded to Agustí y Masoliver SA for €844,580 including VAT. The same official record states an expected execution period of nine months.

The contract for the Mas Gri park-and-ride works was awarded to Agustí y Masoliver SA for €844,580, VAT included, with a planned execution period of nine months.

Those details are reflected in the official procurement documentation linked through Girona City Council's contractor profile and the Generalitat platform, rather than in secondary reports. The contracting information is also traceable through the council's transparency and procurement pages.

In practical terms, if work starts in August and runs to schedule, the construction period would extend across much of the 2026-27 year. The council has not, in the material reviewed, published a more precise completion date or a detailed timetable for disruption at the site.

The project is subsidised through the Pla únic d'obres i serveis de Catalunya 2025-2029, usually shortened to PUOSC, a Generalitat programme that helps fund local public works and services.

The subsidy matters because it places the Mas Gri works within a wider regional funding programme for municipal infrastructure. The 2025-2029 call was opened by the Department of the Presidency of the Generalitat, according to the official resolution and programme information published by the Catalan government.

  • Funding programme: PUOSC 2025-2029
  • Administering authority: Department of the Presidency of the Generalitat
  • Type of support: subsidy for local public works and services

For residents, the next practical step is to check Girona City Council's mobility and procurement channels for notice of works beginning, any access changes and future opening details. Readers can also see our Source Transparency page for how official contracting documents are verified.
