Metrovalencia Builds 260-Meter Pedestrian Tunnel Between Xàtiva and Alacant

The Metrovalencia network is developing an important underground infrastructure that will transform the experience of public transport users. It is a pedestrian corridor of 260 meters that will strategically connect the Xàtiva and Alacant stations, expected to be operational before the Christmas celebrations 🎄

Investment and Technical Features of the Project

The mobility project represents an investment of more than 24 million euros, resources allocated to ensure functionality and universal accessibility. The infrastructure includes elements specifically designed to improve the user experience and prepare the system for future expansions.

Key Elements of the Tunnel:
  • Wide pedestrian accesses that facilitate the flow of people
  • Integrated elevator to ensure universal mobility
  • Adaptable design for future tram traffic
This work represents a qualitative leap in the integration of our metropolitan transport system, optimizing connections and significantly reducing travel times.

Benefits for Urban Connectivity

The new connection tunnel will not only shorten physical distances between stations, but will revolutionize the way users make transfers between tram line 10 and metro lines 3, 5, and 9. The strategic planning aims to create a more cohesive and efficient network.

Main Advantages for Users:
  • Substantial reduction in travel times
  • Seamless integration between different modes of transport
  • Protection against adverse weather conditions

Financing and Future Prospects

European financing has been fundamental in materializing this ambitious project, ensuring compliance with deadlines and quality standards. With this improvement, Metrovalencia consolidates its commitment to a modern transport service adapted to the urban mobility needs of the 21st century 🚇
