The renovation, which began last May, covers around 570 metres of road and involves an investment of nearly €2.9 million. The project includes the renewal of water supply and sewage networks, wider pavements, improved energy efficiency, and the creation of new green spaces and areas for people to sit.
The aim is to completely transform one of the district’s most important roads and redesign its layout to give pedestrians more space and improve accessibility. The design includes different treatments for each section, with new landscaped areas, more trees, LED lighting, and a two-way cycle lane in the section between Violante de Hungría and Domingo Miral.
WORK WILL CONTINUE UNTIL 2027
The schedule drawn up by Zaragoza City Council divided the work into four phases to minimise disruption to traffic and university activity. Following the initial work carried out before and during the summer, construction is now focused on the central section, considered one of the most complex parts of the renovation.
The transformation also includes changes to pedestrian space. In the central section, pavements will be up to 5.45 metres wide and parking areas will be retained, while lanes will be reorganised and new green areas added elsewhere. The project calls for more than 80 trees to be preserved, 33 trees in poor condition to be removed, and 45 new trees to be planted.
The City Council expects the new Pedro Cerbuna Street to be fully completed and reopened to traffic in March 2027. Until then, work will continue in phases, with a commitment to maintaining access to the University and reducing disruption as each section is completed.
