Project Description

The purpose of this project is to define and assess the work required to transform the intersection between BP-1432 and BV-1483 into a roundabout, also integrating Font de l'Alzinella street into the roundabout to enhance user safety. This intervention is carried out within the municipal area of Bigues i Riells.

The current intersection between BP-1432 and BV-1483 consists of a Y-shaped intersection with a very small angle of approximately 45º, with buildings on the right side of the curve defined by BV-1483 towards Sant Feliu de Codines, and a cutting embankment, limiting visibility for vehicle traffic. The road section of BP-1432 at this point, between PK 22+360 and 22+390, is 6 m wide without a shoulder. The current road signage includes a stop sign and yield sign, with central lane channeling and a lateral merge. Font de l'Alzinella street, which is currently unpaved and undeveloped, also intersects at the same junction.
