Valencia Reopens 300-Meter Giorgeta Stretch for Holiday Period

The provisional opening will be reversed after Epiphany to keep the phased overhaul on schedule toward completion after summer 2026.

Overview

  • The reopened section runs between Calle Albacete and Calle San Vicente toward Paseo de La Petxina, with new paving, lighting, signals and sidewalks widened to 3–7 meters.
  • The corridor, used by about 56,000 vehicles daily, will close again after the holidays as phase one ends and the next construction stage begins.
  • To ease congestion, Calle Albacete becomes two-way between Maestro Sosa and Giorgeta as part of temporary traffic measures.
  • Roís de Corella changes direction with a new contraflow segment on Sant Vicent Màrtir, saving EMT riders up to eight minutes and adding 79 motorcycle spaces near Joaquín Sorolla station.
  • New bike-lane links will open from 26 December on Joaquín Navarro and San Vicente Mártir as the €23.9 million EU‑funded project upgrades utilities and adds crossings, bus stops, green areas and playgrounds over more than two kilometers.
