Key Points
- Traffic jams up to 2km on Andorran CG-1 road to Spanish border ahead of Labour Day weekend.
- Heaviest congestion from Sant Julià de Loria to Farga de Moles, with 1.5km backups since 4pm due to single outbound lane.

Traffic jams have formed on major Andorran roads this Thursday afternoon as residents begin the long Labour Day holiday weekend, with queues stretching up to two kilometres towards the Spanish border.
The heaviest congestion is on the CG-1 heading to the Farga de Moles crossing, where delays extend from the Epizen shopping centre in Sant Julià de Loria back to the Riu Runer area. Mobility services reported backups starting around 4pm, with congested sections exceeding 1.5 kilometres at times. Only one outbound lane is operating at the border, contributing to the buildup.
The influx aligns with the start of the three-day bridge holiday over 1 May, a public holiday in both Andorra and Spain. Many locals are taking staggered leave to travel abroad for the break, leading to dense traffic expected to persist through the day.
Separate alerts noted heavy outbound flow on the CG-1 to the Spanish border, as well as inbound congestion on the CG-3 towards La Massana from the north.
Authorities anticipate ongoing disruptions as more vehicles depart.
