Work begins on the refurbishment of the B:SM Avinguda Gaudí car park.

This week, Barcelona de Serveis Municipals (B:SM) will begin the tendering process for the refurbishment of the B:SM Avinguda Gaudí car park, located next to the Sagrada Família and the Sant Pau Modernista Complex  

The works, budgeted at more than 3.3 million euros, will begin in November and will last for one year 

In order to minimise the impact on paying users of the car park, the work will be carried out across various phases

B:SM is set to start the procedures for the refurbishment work to be carried out on the B:SM Avinguda Gaudí car park, located on Carrer Castillejos, very close to the Sagrada Família and the Sant Pau Modernista Complex. This week marks the beginning of the tendering process for the refurbishment work due to be carried out on this car park, which was built in 1982. The works are expected to entail the refurbishment of all of the car park’s facilities, various structural improvements and the introduction of LED lighting to replace its existing system. 

In order to provide maximum comfort to users of the Avinguda Gaudí car park, the spaces will be redistributed and enlarged so as to better reflect the size of modern vehicles. 

This redistribution will increase the size of the parking spaces and the number of electric car charging points. 10 more charging points will be installed, bringing the total number to 18. There will also be 94 additional spaces for motorbikes and 58 additional spaces for bicycles. The latter will be left in a Bicipark —an enclosed space within the car park— which will have a specific access control system for users.   

In addition, with the aim of contributing to a more efficient and sustainable distribution of goods throughout the city which better meets the needs of users, a space will also be set aside for the installation of parcel collection lockers. 

The works, budgeted at more than 3.3 million euros, will begin in November and will last for more than 12 months. 

In order to minimise the impact on paying users of the car park, the improvement works will be carried out across various phases. This will ensure that all users will have a parking space at all points of the refurbishment project.
