The railway infrastructure manager Adif expects to implement 220 temporary speed limits across the Catalonia rail network next week, covering a total of 208 kilometers of track.

According to official documents, 110 of these restrictions are attributed to the impact of Storm Harry. Significant changes are expected in the section between Riba-roja d'Ebre and Reus, where specific limits will replace general restrictions starting February 24.

"This coming week, 26 of the 210 current temporary speed limitations in Rodalies will be removed."

In the Ripollès region, Adif has identified high-risk points on the R3 line between Ribes de Freser and Planoles. Meanwhile, on the RL4 line, new limits have been introduced between Mollerussa and Calaf due to track maintenance needs.
