Commuters in the Segarra region expressed their frustration with the state of the A-2 highway this Monday, as emergency roadworks caused lane closures in Cervera and Ribera d'Ondara.

Traffic on the A-2 highway has been restricted to a single lane in each direction following urgent repairs carried out over the weekend. Residents from Cervera and surrounding towns claim the infrastructure is suffering from chronic neglect.
