The three lines affected by the collapse of the tracks in Montcada are circulating again

BarcelonaThe three lines affected by the collapse of the tracks this Wednesday in Montcada i Reixac are now running again. The R2, R2 Nord, and R11 have resumed service this Sunday morning between the stations of Sant Andreu and Montcada i Reixac, which had been stopped since the collapse of one of the shafts from the works to bury the tracks at the border between the two cities. Temporarily, a speed limitation has been set on the affected section.

On Saturday at noon, Adif announced that it had finished the work to cover the hole left by the collapse, swallowing a crane and other heavy machinery that have not been removed and have been covered by the concrete that covers the hole. Once the concrete pouring was finished, the auscultations carried out by Adif detected no ground movement or impact on the infrastructure or the nearest buildings.

However, the company has explained that it will keep the monitoring system and the technical investigation active to clarify the causes of the sinkhole. For now, it attributes it to the fact that it is an area of special geological and hydrogeological complexity.

365 cubic meters of concrete and 1,930 cubic meters of mortar have been poured to stabilize the ground, in uninterrupted work from Wednesday to Saturday that has mobilized more than a hundred workers. Once Adif had finished the work and the first checks had been carried out, Renfe began to carry out test runs on this section on Saturday afternoon, test trips with trains without passengers to verify that the infrastructure is in good condition and can be traveled on.
