Traffic congestion across Andorra's road network persisted into the evening of 3 January 2026, affecting key routes to ski areas and the southern border amid high tourist volumes over the weekend.
The Mobility Service reported heavy queues on the Carretera General 2 at the entrances to Canillo and Encamp heading south, with extensive delays also building on the Carretera General 4 approaching La Massana in the same direction. Congestion later concentrated near the southern border exit toward Spain on the Carretera General 1, as vehicles slowed in the high-traffic period.
Earlier in the day, disruptions had already hit multiple points. Midday delays were most severe on the Carretera General 1 through central Sant Julià de Lòria heading north, alongside queues on the Carretera General 2 at Canillo's southern entrance. Morning backups stretched from the La Seu d'Urgell roundabout to the Spanish border, where slow-moving traffic created significant vehicle accumulations.
The issues marked another full day of interruptions on the Principat's roads, particularly around access to ski resorts, with no information released on causes or resolution timelines. Conditions evolved from morning border approaches and urban zones through afternoon parish routes and into evening peaks.
