An agreement has been reached to advance a new orbital rail line that will connect Mataró in Maresme and Vilanova i la Geltrú in Garraf, bypassing Barcelona. This development aims to improve transport links across the metropolitan area, according to officials.
The agreement was symbolised by the President of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, and the President of ERC, Oriol Junqueras. The project focuses on creating direct connections between various Catalan regions, reducing travel times and dependence on the capital's central hub.
Boosting Regional Connectivity
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to strengthen regional infrastructure and support economic activity outside Barcelona. The new line is expected to ease congestion on existing routes and offer residents more efficient travel options between key towns.
Further details on the project's timeline, funding, and specific route planning are anticipated in the coming months. The Generalitat and ERC leaders are expected to provide updates as the plan progresses.
