This Autema highway is also integrated into the Llobregat C-16 sector which connects Barcelona with France, forming part of the European Itinerary known as the E-9.
The best mobility solution
The highway incorporates equipment which constantly reviews the state of the pavement, balises and signaling, and a network of SOS posts with 24-hour service to provide rapid response to possible accidents or mechanical problems.
Full range of services
The highway has signed an agreement with the Royal Automoblie Club of Catalonia which places a fleet of vehicles at the disposition of users in the event of breakdown. This service provideds rapid response to emergency situations.
Supporting the Fundación Abadía de Montserrat
Since 2006, Autema has been collaborating with the Fundación Abadía de Montserrat. The donation is devoted to extending and digitalising the library of the Monastery, restoring various buildings and improving accessibility and mobility in the grounds of the Sanctuary.
Moreover, the highway has entered into an agreement with the local organization Ampans which takes in, trains and provides jobs for persons with disabilities. This personnel takes care of gardening and other cleaning tasks.
Connecting communities in Barcelona
Our projects serve as an economic engine for growth, supporting the well-being of the communities where we work and live. We worked with the consulting firm, Steer, to prepare the Economic and Community Impact of Ferrovial’s Toll Roads report.
The study measured the economic value generated in the regions we invest in and the benefits received by travelers from the start of each concession until December 31, 2022.
