The Valdebebas interchange nears completion of its first phase of construction
Of the four interchanges to facilitate an improvement of the public service of Madrid, the Valdebebas interchange is the one that is closest to being completed, thanks to the participation of engineerssuch as SOCOTEC Spain.
El intercambiador es una infraestructura estratégica que permitirá conectar diferentes medios de transporte, como autobuses urbanos e interurbanos, tren de cercanías y bicicletas, y la futura prolongación de la Línea 11 del Metro de Madrid. El proyecto financiado por fondos europeos para mejorar la movilidad de la ciudad, no sólo permitirá mejorar la calidad de vida de los madrileños, sino que contribuirá a garantizar la sostenibilidad ambiental en la zona urbana.

The construction of the Valdebebas interchange will allow a better connection and accessibility to all these services. Engineering companies such as SOCOTEC are committed, in the words of the head of civil works of the structure, " to continue working to contribute to the growth and improvement of cities and the quality of life of their citizens".
The Valdebebas interchange is not the only project in which SOCOTEC Spain participates in the Madrid community.
