Description of the Metro Station Construction Project
The renovation of the Maragall station of the Barcelona Metro has been a strategic project, divided into two main phases to improve the accessibility and safety of this key interconnection between lines L4 and L5.
The first phase, which consisted of the construction of the Ronda Guinardó concourse (L4) and the widening of the L4 platform, was completed in April 2022. The second phase, which includes the Ramon Albó lobby, the correspondence corridor between L4 and L5, and the extension of the L5 platform, was recently inaugurated in 2023.
