Andorra Sees Record 71,161 Vehicles Over Easter Week, Exceeding Forecasts

Andorra recorded 71,161 vehicles entering the country over Easter week from Wednesday, April 1, to Monday, April 6, 2026, surpassing the Mobility department's forecast of 66,000. Final figures, released Tuesday via social media, included 51,226 entries at the Runer River border with Spain and 19,935 at France's Baladrà crossing. Peaks hit 14,507 vehicles on Friday, April 4, and 12,449 on Saturday, April 5, driven by favorable skiing conditions and deep snow at resorts.

Outbound traffic intensified on Easter Monday, April 6, with heavy volumes along the CG-1 toward Spain from early morning. Delays exceeded 1.5 kilometers by late morning near the Sant Julià de Lòria treatment plant, reaching the Farga de Moles customs post. Queues grew to 2.5 kilometers at Runer River in the afternoon, extending upstream beyond the Epizen shopping center, and at one point hit 3.5 kilometers for four hours. Officials opened both lanes at the border, along with double lanes on Avinguda Francesc Cairat and between La Comella and Margineda, to ease congestion. A separate 4-kilometer jam on Catalonia's C-14 near Ponts, caused by an accident, further slowed departures. Traffic from Sant Julià de Lòria normalized by early afternoon, though Mobility warned of evening challenges.

The department had prepared for a demanding exodus after one of the busiest periods in months, urging patience, off-peak travel, and route checks. Measures coordinated with the seven parishes, Andorran police, and neighboring security forces extended to Canillo, La Massana, and the central valley, with no major incidents reported.

Roadworks also started Monday on CG-3's Unió street, from the kilometer zero roundabout to Dama de Gel, to install a third lane. Drivers should follow signs and plan ahead.
