Red de Transporte y Puertos de la Generalitat Valeciana (EGTP).
The project consists of putting underground three stretches of the existing surface railway lines (Metrovalencia lines 1 and 3) in three densely populated areas (Alboraia, Benimàmet, Burjassot) of the Valencia metropolitan area.
The aim of the project is to improve safety, reliability and level of service of the metro lines concerned, contributing to an enhancement of urban mobility and road safety by freeing the new spaces created at the surface for integrated urban development, thus contributing to improve the quality of life of the residents.
