Tender to renew asphalt on Montsant Avenue and Santa Isabel Promenade

Tarragona begins asphalt renewal on two key roads, a move that will affect residents and everyone traveling along Montsant Avenue and Santa Isabel promenade.

The tender for this work was opened on June 9, 2026, as announced by the Tarragona City Council. The work includes several phases that promise to improve safety and driving comfort.

Details of the planned work

Milling and pavement rehabilitation

The first step will be milling the current surface. This technique consists of removing the top layer of damaged asphalt to prepare a solid base for the new layer. Then the pavement rehabilitation will be carried out, which is the set of layers that support traffic and ensure durability.

Paving and marking painting

Once the pavement is rehabilitated, a new layer of asphalt will be laid, ensuring a uniform and durable surface. Finally, horizontal signage will be painted, key for road safety and to organize traffic clearly and efficiently.

Impact and exact location of the work

Where the work will take place

The work will affect Montsant Avenue and Santa Isabel promenade, two important roads in Tarragona. These areas connect neighborhoods and are a usual route for cars, bicycles, and pedestrians.

How it will affect residents and mobility

It is expected that the works will generate occasional closures or detours of traffic. Residents and users will need to pay attention to municipal instructions and possible restrictions, which will be communicated before each phase starts.
