The Catalan Transit Service (SCT) banned heavy trucks over 7.5 tons on the AP-7 highway between l'Arboç and Ulldecona this Saturday, February 14, due to dangerous winds.

The AP-7 is currently closed northbound at l'Hospitalet de l'Infant following a truck rollover. Traffic is being diverted to the N-340 road. Additional closures are reported in l'Ametlla de Mar due to fallen trees and accidents blocking the lanes.
Rail services are also affected, with Renfe suspending the R16 regional line between Tortosa and l'Aldea-Amposta as a precautionary measure against the ongoing storm.
