Works on the TV-3421 between Roquetes and Mas de Barberans with 3.3 MEUR: widened bridge and pacified crossing
The Diputació de Tarragona has started key works on the TV-3421 road between Roquetes and Mas de Barberans. With a budget of 3.3 million euros, this intervention will significantly change the safety and mobility of the area.
If you have recently passed through TV-3421, you will know that it is not the best road for comfortable driving. The planned changes will not only improve traffic flow, but will also impact the daily lives of those who live or work in these municipalities. The occasional traffic closures will require attention, but the result will be worthwhile.
Details of the works and planned measures
What exactly does the intervention on TV-3421 include?
The work, which will last fourteen months, includes:
- Calming of the urban stretch of Mas de Barberans, to reduce speed and improve pedestrian and vehicle safety.
- Expansion of the bridge over the Sant Antoni ravine, improving the capacity and safety of the infrastructure.
- Improvements to the layout at specific points, with platform widening in narrow areas and correction of turns with poor visibility.
- Stabilization of unstable or eroded slopes to ensure ground stability and prevent landslides.
- Creation of pedestrian routes in the urban sections, facilitating safe walking mobility.
How will traffic be affected during the works?
The works will require occasional traffic closures, which will be announced in advance. This may cause inconvenience, but it is expected to be short-lived and the coordination will be optimal to avoid congestion. Users will need to pay attention to notices to adapt to temporary changes.
Local impact and political assessment
How important is this work for the region?
For the people of Roquetes and Mas de Barberans, this investment of 3.3 million euros is good news. The TV-3421 road is a vital axis connecting two important municipalities of Montsià and Baix Ebre, with daily traffic and a history of safety problems.

Technical aspects and future outlook
What technical improvements are planned for the road?
The widening of the platform in narrow areas and correction of turns with poor visibility are key to adapting the road to the current volume and type of traffic. Unstable slopes will also be addressed, avoiding risks of landslides and unexpected closures. This implies a safer and more stable road in the long term.
How long will the works last and what is expected afterwards?
With a planned duration of fourteen months, this renovation will keep TV-3421 under construction for a good season. Patience, it will be worth it. Once finished, the route will offer a safer and more comfortable driving experience, and pedestrians will be able to move more safely in the urban sections.
