Additionally, in April 2013, the tender will be opened for the new €96 million railway access to the port. Some €50 million has been budgeted by the Ministry of Works in 2013 for the railway accesses, while the remainder will be financed by the Port Authority of Barcelona (APB).

It is not yet known what model will be used to finance the new road, linking the Ronda Litoral with the Port of Barcelona. In principle, this will be 10km long and be a dual carriageway. In the past, there has been talk of it being executed via a public-private model.
