The urban area of Burjassot and Godella

Nowadays, the presence of the railway platform on the surface generates a strong barrier effect in the urban area of Burjassot and Godella. The new urbanization regenerates the liberation of new spaces by the entombment of the infrastructure: a powerful pedestrian axis substitutes the railway axis, establishing the predominance of pedestrians and cyclists. Also, new urban connections are established and the existing ones are reordered.

The project interacts with the character and the characteristics of each one of the zones crossed: link with the existing roads, adequacy with the fords, fluency of the pedestrian traffic, etc

Area

The landscape integration in the urban section includes a surface of 51.504 m2. 

In the section of the new underground tracing railway line, is projected the reconstruction of the current structure, supporting the existing traffic and the number of rails, but with slight modifications that allow improving the railroad characteristics - rectification of alignments, increase the pedestrian surface, incorporation of vegetation, etc.

Projected structures

The railway current platform is projected to restructure it into a green urban route for pedestrians and cyclists: stands out the construction of a wide boulevard in Bétera street.

In the Burjassot-Godella's station area, as well as in of Godella's current and future station, there is projected a singular and differentiated treatment depending on the urban context in which they are.
