Key Points

A minor collision at the Fontaneda roundabout added to the strain on Andorra's already tense road network on Wednesday, exacerbating widespread traffic delays.
The incident, which caused only material damage, occurred just before 4:45 p.m. in Sant Julià de Lòria. Local traffic agents handled the response, and it did little more than highlight the fragility of the system amid heavy congestion.
Traffic conditions remained highly challenging throughout the day, with particularly slow movement in the downhill sections from the ski resort areas. Delays soon spread more broadly across the network, turning even routine journeys into prolonged ordeals.
Such small disruptions have outsized impacts during periods of peak pressure, when even low-traffic points struggle to absorb added tension. Authorities have not released further details on the collision or broader causes of the day's gridlock.
