Traffic Queues Exceed 1km at Andorra-Spain Riu Runer Border into Saturday

Traffic queues at the Riu Runer border crossing with Spain along the CG-1 continue into Saturday morning, exceeding one kilometre amid the Pentecost school holiday exodus and the upcoming Segona Pasqua long weekend on Monday.

The Mobility Service reported queues forming around 10am today, with delays stretching beyond the Farga de Moles customs point, where Spanish authorities are keeping one outbound lane closed despite Andorra's request to reopen it. This bottleneck has limited capacity, though traffic flows more smoothly than Friday's peaks.

Yesterday afternoon, delays began shortly before 3pm and swelled past four kilometres by mid-afternoon, prompting border officials to open both lanes. Even so, congestion extended over a kilometre into Andorra and lingered into the evening, impacting families from civil service, administration, and liberal professions traveling to vacation homes or resorts.

Earlier Friday updates noted queues surpassing three kilometres shortly after 3pm, with dense traffic clearing only after Farga de Moles. Saturday's volumes remain high as many extend stays through the week, leading officials to caution about potential fluctuations without specific clearance estimates.
