Roadwork on Seville's Line 3 metro has narrowed Traffic at Hospital Virgen Macarena from two lanes to one starting from Monday.
Planned Works on Line 3 North of Sevilla's Metro to Minimise Traffic Impacts
Works on the third section of Line 3 North in Sevilla are set to begin on August 11, with the Ministry of Public Works, Territorial Planning and Housing coordinating a mobility plan with the City Council to minimise traffic disruption.
The works, which consist of a double track, mainly underground, with a length of 7.5 kilometers, will see the occupation of the parking strip on the left side of Dr. Fedriani towards the Hospital Virgen Macarena from August 18. The reduction of lanes is due to the execution of excavations and demolition of the pavement at the corner of Dr. Fedriani with Dr. Maranón, resulting in one lane per direction being closed at the intersection with Doctor Leal Castaño and Doctor Marañon.
The Junta de Andalusia has invested more than 178 million euros in the third section of Line 3 North. The works are taking place at the height of the Hospital Virgen Macarena, and the demolition of the pavement for the repositioning of the sanitation line will start after the parking strip occupation.
To ensure safety during the excavations, measures are being taken to avoid landslides that could affect workers or adjacent buildings. The excavations are being carried out to locate pipelines and services in the area and proceed with their diversion to allow the execution of the screens of the Virgen de Macarena station. A line of piles will be executed in nearby delimited areas for the protection of the pipelines trenches, some of which have five meters of depth.
The mobility plan aims to continue with the works without completely cutting off traffic on any of the avenues leading to the intersection. Inquiries about these new traffic impacts can be made through the email enabled for the works of Line 3 North of the Metro de Sevilla.
While specific details about the mobility plan or the execution allowance for the Virgen de Macarena station were not found in the search results, it is generally understood that such plans typically involve integrating the station into the existing public transport network, designing pedestrian access routes, managing traffic flow, enhancing accessibility for all users, and obtaining official permissions or technical setups for safety, operational, or monitoring screens related to the construction or operation phase.
For precise details about the mobility plan or execution allowance for the Virgen de Macarena station in the Line 3 North Metro project, it is recommended to consult official publications from Sevilla’s transport authorities or the construction consortium managing Line 3.
