Road closures and traffic restrictions will complicate access to the Tortosa Verge de la Cinta University Hospital for an entire week. Residents and visitors will have to look for alternatives since mobility will be inevitably affected.

According to an official notice from the Tortosa City Council, construction work on the new elevators will begin on Thursday, May 28 and will last until Wednesday, June 3, with specific impacts on parking and vehicle traffic around the hospital.

Details of closures and restrictions

Dates and scope of the works

The work will take place over seven consecutive days, from May 28 to June 3, at the Verge de la Cinta Hospital facilities. The opening and improvement of the elevators will require restrictions on the use of nearby streets and parking areas.

Using public transportation or alternative parking areas in the zone is recommended to avoid complications, especially during peak hours and the central days of the works.

Context and future improvements

Improvements planned with the new elevators

These elevators will represent an improvement in the hospital’s accessibility, especially for people with reduced mobility, although the temporary cost affects usual mobility.
