The snowfall particularly affects the Cerdanya section of the C-16, which connects with the Llobregat axis, and the N-260 near the Collada de Toses. The Catalan Traffic Service (SCT) has urged drivers to exercise extreme caution, equip their vehicles, and carry chains to ensure safety.
This adverse weather situation is compounded by the farmer mobilization that has kept traffic cut off on the C-16 near Olvan, in Berguedà, since Thursday. Farmers have extended the protest to the alternative route via Cal Rosal, causing a total collapse on the Llobregat axis.
The traffic jams are significant in both directions of travel, exacerbated by the dense column of smoke generated by the burning of tires and straw bales.
The combination of snow in the high mountains and traffic cuts in the Olvan and Cal Rosal area creates a scenario of maximum road complexity, severely impacting connectivity between Cerdanya and Central Catalonia during the afternoon of January 9, 2026.
