Although a few months ago we informed you that the works in the Can Buscà industrial estate area of Tordera were already finished, currently improvement works are being carried out on the access at this point. These works, which do not directly affect the passage of the route, involve a diversion from the original route layout, although you must circulate taking precautions.

For a few months now, the Tourdera route through the municipality of Riells i Viabrea was diverted at a small point between Avinguda Ferrocarril and Carrer de Santa Fe (Alba de Liste), as a consequence of road improvement works within the municipality.
Results of the semi-annual route review
During these summer months, we have been carrying out a review of the entire Tourdera route and issuing reports to each of the maintenance managers in each municipality, in order to detect problems on the route and prepare it for autumn. We have prepared this short article with the most relevant results.
Completion of works at the Pas de la Tourdera in Can Buscà (Tordera)
For some months now, the section of the Tordera route through the Can Buscà area, in the municipality of Tordera, has been diverted from the original itinerary due to urban development works in the area. With the restoration of the original route, the signage has been reinforced with the installation of some directional vinyls identifying the Tourdera.
Semi-annual review of the Tourdera
This month of June, we have started the first annual review of the Tourdera to verify the state of the route and detect any issues with the itinerary and signage. As you know, at Tourdera we perform two complete reviews of the entire route annually and, of all the issues detected, we send everything we find to the maintenance managers of each municipality.
The new Ramió footbridge is now a reality
During the summer, we informed you in an article that reconstruction works had begun on the Ramió footbridge, a historic bridge over the Tordera River where the Tourdera route passed before the Gloria storm, between the Les Llobateres wetland area and Hostalric. We have the good news to announce that this October the works have finished and the footbridge is now fully operational.
Completion of painting work on the new river promenade in Tordera
As we mentioned a few weeks ago, at the end of August, the remodeling of the Tordera riverside promenade was inaugurated, between the Sardana park and the Fogars road, but some small details were still missing, such as the signage for bicycle and pedestrian lanes, among others.
Inauguration of the new Tordera River Walk
Last Tuesday, August 23rd, the remodeling of the Tordera riverside promenade was inaugurated, between the Sardana park and the Fogars road. This entire space was severely affected by the Gloria storm in 2020, the year in which the slope consolidation works were carried out, but it was necessary to finish the work with the remodeling of the entire promenade, where the Tordera route passes.
Results of the 1st annual review of the route
During the past month of July, the complete inspection that is carried out every six months on the Tordera route and Arbúcies stream was performed. This was the 1st inspection of this year 2022, with the plan to perform the second one in November. All detected incidents have been reported to the different responsible parties for the maintenance of the route, which are the different participating town councils or those to whom they have outsourced the service.
Start of reconstruction work on the Ramió footbridge
After a long time, we can finally announce that construction work has begun on the reconstruction of the Ramió footbridge, a historic footbridge over the Tordera River where the Tourdera passed before Storm Gloria, between the Llobateres wetland and Hostalric. This crossing, much used by the residents of Ramió, in the municipality of Fogars de la Selva, was seriously affected by the impact of Gloria, which forced a detour in the Tordera route to avoid this passage.
