Traffic jams stretching up to five kilometres have formed on the N-145 road leading into Andorra from Spain, as tourists flock to the mountain resorts amid excellent snow conditions.
The delays began around 7pm on Saturday, according to Andorra's Mobility Service. Queues start in Esterreny and extend until drivers cross the Runer River border, after which traffic flows normally.
The influx stems from strong weekend demand for skiing and other winter activities, drawn by the favourable snow quality across the Principat's ski areas. Authorities have not reported any accidents or other contributing factors at this stage.
Motorists heading into Andorra from Spain are advised to check real-time updates from the Mobility Service before travelling. Similar queues have been common during peak winter weekends in recent years.
