Repair and conditioning work on the Merlès stream as it passes through Puig-reig has concluded, restoring mobility at several points affected by the June flood. In parallel, the Barcelona Provincial Council is working on the project to reconstruct the La Molina Bridge, which was completely destroyed by the force of the water.

The interventions focused on four key points: the Cal Riera footbridge and crossing, where pedestrian access has been restored by rebuilding pillars and installing planks; the Molí del Vilaró Bridge, involving riverbed cleaning and bank consolidation; and the Les Canals Bridge, where the structure has been repaired and a new upper slab will be built to ensure safe transit.
The most severe impact was on the La Molina Bridge, a historic structure that was entirely swept away. The Barcelona Provincial Council is drafting the project for its comprehensive reconstruction, respecting its original appearance and local heritage.
The total estimated cost for the cleaning, consolidation, and reconstruction of the various affected points amounts to 242,000 euros (VAT included). The most significant portion of this investment is allocated to the reconstruction of the La Molina Bridge.
