The director of the Servei Català de Trànsit (SCT), Ramon Lamiel, announced that the Ministry of Transport expects to reopen the closed section of the AP-7 in Martorell, southbound, on February 9, following the collapse caused by the Gelida accident.

The total closure of the motorway, located between Martorell and Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, occurred again yesterday afternoon to allow the transfer of heavy machinery needed for track repair. This 22-kilometer stretch, which had been partially open with a single lane since last Saturday, is once again completely closed southbound from Martorell.
“

"If they said that [the Ministry of Transport], so it will be and so we expect."

Ramon Lamiel · Director of the Catalan Traffic Service (SCT)
The complete interruption of traffic is causing significant disruptions to road mobility this Thursday, as vehicles are being diverted to the A-2, where queues of up to five kilometers are registered near Castellbisbal. There are also queues on the southern access routes to Barcelona, such as the B-23, C-32, and C-31.
The SCT maintains its recommendation for users to utilize alternative routes for travel, including the C-32 (which remains free in the Garraf tunnels), the C-25 towards the interior, and the C-58 and B-40 towards the A-2. Furthermore, the Catalan Government's bill for the Rodalies crisis, stemming from the January 20 accident, already amounts to 5.2 million euros, which will be claimed from the Ministry of Transport.
