Project data sheet
- Client: Infraestructures.cat
- Location: C-16 motorway between the Terrassa Centre junction and the connection with the C-58/B-40
- Year: 2024-2025
- Joint Venture: COPCISA (Civil Works) and INOSVIAL (Signalling and barriers)
A strategic project to improve road connection in Terrassa
The Department of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition of the Generalitat de Catalunya, through Infraestructures.cat, has carried out the works to refurbish the third lane on the C-16 motorway, in the section between the Terrassa Centre junction and the connection with the C-58 and B-40. This intervention responds to the need to improve traffic flow on a road with high traffic density.
Before the action, this section only had two lanes in each direction, which generated congestion situations, especially at peak times. With the expansion carried out, it has been possible to create a more efficient configuration that facilitates lane change movements in optimal conditions of safety and fluidity.
