Construction of two new road bridges over the Barcelona - Terrassa FGC rail line on either side of the existing bridge, which has been converted to pedestrian use, and modification of the existing roundabouts in Montserrat Roig Avenue and Vallseca Street by the old bridge of Can Rabella.

Each abutment is supported on 10 micropiles 12m deep, half of which are inclined 20° from vertical. One bridge is constructed using 6 precast concrete beams with prestressed double-T section trusses with a span of 20,65m and the second using 5 precast concrete beams with prestressed double-T section trusses with a span of 20m.
