Major Traffic Disruptions from Roadworks and Crane in Central Andorra

Roadworks and a large crane continue to cause major traffic disruptions in central Andorra, with heavy congestion on key routes into Andorra la Vella and surrounding areas.

Milling and paving under phase 4 of the FEDAECOTERM project are affecting Carrer Bonaventura Armengol and Avinguda Consell d'Europa, between Carrer Prat de la Creu and Carrer Pau Casals. The operations, which began Monday 2 March and are set to run until Wednesday 4 March, operate daily from around 9:30am or 10am until 8:30pm or 9pm. One lane remains closed on Avinguda Consell d'Europa in the uphill direction, leaving a single lane open and creating slowdowns at that point. Carrer Bonaventura Armengol operates with two lanes. These changes have produced bottlenecks, slowing traffic and causing queues that extend to other central streets in the capital.

Authorities from Andorra la Vella commune and the Mobility department have called for caution and adherence to temporary signage. The issues, flagged in advance, are having a pronounced impact as works progress.

Adding to the strain, a large crane blocks the uphill lane on Carretera de l'Obac, requiring alternating traffic that builds tailbacks toward the city center or Encamp, varying by time of day. The disruptions are rippling outward, affecting circulation in Escaldes and beyond.

Drivers should expect delays and seek alternative routes where feasible.
