Andorra Tramway Route Adjustment Proposed by Escaldes-Engordany

The Comú d’Escaldes-Engordany has proposed a minor adjustment to the route of Andorra’s planned national tramway, specifically targeting the location of one interchange point outlined in the sectoral plan for segregated transport.

Officials from the Escaldes-Engordany council described the change as a technical tweak to better accommodate potential future extensions toward Encamp and La Massana. The interchange in question is designed for long-term network expansion, they explained, noting that while the government had suggested one site, local technical experts favored an alternative deemed more suitable. No specific locations were disclosed, and the council stressed that the proposal does not challenge the overall project.

The suggestion has been submitted to the government, which is now reviewing its feasibility. Government sources have not explicitly confirmed receipt of the request but emphasized that the process remains in a technical working phase. Additional meetings with the involved parishes are still needed to finalize adjustments before formal proceedings begin, with the plan targeted for completion in 2026.

This input forms part of a feedback period granted to the communes of Sant Julià de Lòria, Escaldes-Engordany, and Andorra la Vella. On 11 December, Secretary of State for Energy Transition, Transport, and Mobility David Forné announced delivery of the proposed route, including reserved spaces for depots and intermodal parking. Parishes had until the end of February to respond, paving the way for sectoral plan approval starting in March and concluding before the legislative term ends in 2026.

The outlined tramway path runs through central Sant Julià de Lòria via the Rocafort road diversion and tunnels to ease congestion, followed by a short tunnel from Aixovall to La Margineda, an elevated bridge over Avinguda d’Enclar and central Santa Coloma, past Lycée Comte de Foix and Prat de la Creu to the Caldea area, then through Clot d’Emprivat, the Hiper Andorra zone, Bonaventura Riberaygua, and linking to the Obac road.
