Dense Traffic Hits Andorra Inbound Routes from Spain at Runer Border
Heavy traffic persists on Andorra's roads from the Spanish border at Runer river, especially inbound via N-145 to Sant Julià de Lòria. Spanish officials manage queues with extra lanes, but delays continue inside the country.
Key Points
- Delays up to 2 hours from Runer river border to Andorra la Vella on N-145.
- Backups worsen between border and Sant Julià de Lòria, with 90-min for 10km.
- Spain opens extra lane; no accidents reported.
- Inbound traffic densest; outbound moderate on CG-1.
Traffic congestion on Andorra's roads from the Runer river border with Spain has worsened, with some drivers facing nearly two-hour delays from the frontier to Andorra la Vella.
Inbound routes remain heavily congested throughout the morning and into the afternoon, especially along the N-145 from La Seu d'Urgell toward Sant Julià de Lòria parish. Spanish authorities have opened a second lane during peak queues to process vehicles more efficiently.
Inside Andorra, backups have intensified on northward stretches between the border and Sant Julià de Lòria's urban center, creating intolerable holdups at times. Reports describe full stoppages over several kilometers, with one motorist taking about 90 minutes to cover just 10 km amid the heatwave. Conditions ease beyond Sant Julià de Lòria.
Flows are dense in both directions at the border, though inbound traffic shows the highest intensity. Outbound movement on the CG-1 toward Spain stays moderate. No accidents or incidents are reported as factors.
The Mobility Service advises drivers to expect prolonged delays, keep safe distances, drive carefully, and consult live updates before journeys.
