Long queues plague Spain-Andorra border and CG-2 highway as skiers and holidaymakers return home, with delays stretching into Spanish territory.
Key Points
- Queues at Spain-Andorra border extend beyond Arcavell roundabout into Spain.
- CG-2 highway congested southbound at Canillo and Encamp entrances.
- Daily post-ski closures combine with holiday traffic for severe disruptions.
- Motorists advised to expect prolonged delays; no clearance estimates given.
Traffic congestion is plaguing Andorra's borders and key roads as skiers descend from the slopes and holidaymakers return home following the three-day weekend.
Long queues have formed at the Spain-Andorra border crossing, stretching from the frontier point beyond the Arcavell roundabout. Authorities report delays affecting entry into the country, with vehicles backed up well into Spanish territory.
The CG-2 highway is also heavily congested in the southbound direction, particularly at the entrances to Canillo and Encamp. These bottlenecks, a common occurrence most afternoons after ski resorts close, are exacerbating the post-holiday rush.
The Mobility department highlighted the issues, noting that the combination of piste closures and returning traffic has created the most severe disruptions in these areas. Motorists are advised to expect prolonged delays and plan accordingly.
No specific reopening times or clearance estimates were provided, as conditions remain fluid.
