The Vallirana variant (B24) and Carrer Major are experiencing a significant traffic increase starting Friday afternoon, January 23, 2026, caused by the massive diversion following the closure of the AP-7 highway.

The notable surge in vehicles on the Vallirana variant (B24) is primarily a consequence of the AP-7 closure, which has diverted a considerable portion of traffic onto the N-340 road. This situation is causing major mobility issues affecting both private vehicles and public transport.
Several urban and interurban bus lines, including L50, L57, e17, 567, and 575, are expected to experience significant delays. The impact is particularly felt by the Vallibús service lines, specifically L1 (Bassioles) and L3 (El Lledoner).

The expected congestion may hinder travel and increase the time needed to reach destinations.

Local authorities are implementing measures to manage the traffic flow and minimize disruption. However, the typical increase in vehicle volume observed every Friday afternoon is expected to further complicate the congestion management efforts. Citizens are advised to consider alternatives to private vehicles if possible and to plan their journeys well in advance.
