The Mayor of Mont-roig del Camp, Fran Morancho, called on the Ministry of Transport this February to immediately approve the N-340 highway renovation in Miami Platja due to high accident rates.

A recent study by RACC has identified a 5.9-kilometer stretch of the N-340 in Miami Platja as the most dangerous road in Spain. Despite this diagnosis, the local government reports that the 12 million euro project to urbanize the road has been stalled by administrative delays for over two years.

"The executive project has been ready for over a year, but the Ministry has returned it four times for minor technical changes."

The planned transformation, funded by Next Generation grants, aims to turn the highway into a safer urban street. The project includes reducing car lanes, adding bike paths, improving lighting, and building new roundabouts at key entrances like Solemio.
Additionally, the town is pushing for a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the A-7 motorway. This 1.2-kilometer infrastructure would provide a safe link for 2,000 residents in Bonmont, Casalot, and Via Marina to reach the center of Miami Platja without needing a car.
