Travessera de Dalt

Travessera de Dalt is an important and much-used street[citation needed] in Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain).

It spans a good deal of the city's district of Gràcia, starting at the tunnel entrances at Plaça de Lesseps, and running towards the tunnels system near Plaça Sanllehy, where it changes name and merges into Ronda del Guinardó.

Its historical origin is a major road which linked the road to Sant Pere de Ribes with the Madrid royal road, bypassing the city of Barcelona, which at the time was much smaller than it is today, pretty much the area of the present day Ciutat Vella.

[1] Travessera de Dalt is nowadays also an administrative divide for the Gràcia district.

When construction of L9 and L10 has been completed the area will be served by both lines, including Lesseps and the future station Sanllehy.
