The Government of Catalonia launched a market consultation this February to attract private investment for infrastructure projects totaling 1.184 billion euros across the region.

The Department of Territory is exploring interest from construction firms and investment funds for three main areas: road safety, the completion of Metro Line 9 stations, and electric vehicle charging hubs. The model uses availability payments, where the government pays based on infrastructure quality rather than traffic volume.
Road safety improvements account for 666 million euros, focusing on 366 kilometers of the network. Key routes like the C-55 and C-16 are priorities for the 2+1 lane system to prevent head-on collisions.
Additionally, 500 million euros will be allocated to finish nine stations on the central section of Line 9 by 2032. Another 18 million will fund eleven ultra-fast charging stations on major corridors such as the C-25.
