The Barcelona City Council begins to renew the pavement of the section closest to the Fòrum to make it equal to the rest of the boulevard
The Barcelona City Council has begun this week the works to change the pavement of the lower part of the Rambla de Prim, in the district of Sant Martí. The cobblestone will be changed in the section between Plaça de Llevant and Carrer Llull, in the Besòs and Maresme neighborhood, near the Parc del Fòrum. Work started on Monday this week and it is said that they will end in about three months, in January 2023.
The consistory explains that the reform will allow “unifying & rdquor; the central road of the Rambla de Prim “with a new pavement & rdquor ;. The tiles that will be installed on the promenade that articulates the Besòs and the Maresme will be “grey prefabricated concrete pieces”. The municipal government emphasizes that the renovation will facilitate possible future repairs and guarantees that the paving will better resist “the punctual passage of maintenance and emergency vehicles.”
