FCC Construcción has won the contract to bury the Renfe Cercanías line R2 in Montcada i Reixac (in Vallès Occidental, Barcelona). The project includes the construction of the new station in that municipality and will involve an unprecedented urban and railway transformation, given the technical and constructive diversity and complexity. FCC Construction forms a consortium with Ferrovial and Comsa, through which they will execute the contract, the amount of which is 540 million euros.

The burying of the tracks will lead to the permeability of the R2 railway infrastructure, which will facilitate the integration between the different neighborhoods of the municipality, thus allowing the urban transformation of the city. The project includes the construction of a four-kilometer tunnel through which the R2 line tracks will pass and a third track will also pass to expand the system's capacity and resilience.

The new station to be built will also be buried and the accesses will be integrated into the new development. The project will configure future exploitation schemes of the local railway network in the area of Barcelona and the metropolitan area.

The burial will begin at the height of the Can Sant Joan neighborhood and will sink up to 35 meters, with a tunnel that will pass under an aquifer and the station will be located near the current station. The new layout was calculated with parameters suitable for traffic of up to 140 kilometers per hour and maximum ramps of 3%.

FCC Construcción continues to maintain its leadership in the execution of national and international railway infrastructure.
