Traffic restrictions will disrupt multiple roads between La Seu d'Urgell and La Molina on Friday for the fifth stage of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya, with closures expected across about 20 segments timed to the peloton's progress.
The stage, from La Seu d'Urgell to Coll de Pal in La Molina on 27 March, will see the first cuts at 11:10 on the N-260 between La Seu and Ribera d'Urgellet, lasting until around 12:08. These will move to the C-14, LV-4001, and local roads through Fígols i Alinyà, La Vansa i Fórnols, and Josa i Tuixent. Afternoon closures will hit Berguedà, affecting the C-16 and roads near Vallcebre, Guardiola de Berguedà, Bagà, and La Pobla de Lillet until roughly 16:33.
In La Seu d'Urgell, parking restrictions start Thursday at 23:00, closing one car park and several areas. From 08:00 to 13:00 Friday, Carrer del Camp de Futbol will be closed to traffic, along with the axis of Avinguda del Camí Ral de Cerdanya and Carrer d'Ausiàs March. A temporary exception allows school drop-offs at Pau Claris via Plaça dels Oms until 09:15. Drivers heading to Andorra face the biggest impact on the N-260 and its variant, with police halting traffic about 40 minutes before and after the cyclists pass, potentially causing queues at Castellciutat and access roundabouts. Those bypassing the centre must use the variant.
Heavy vehicles over 7.5 tonnes will face bans on race-affected stretches, which could lead to denser truck traffic once roads reopen.
Local authorities and the Servei Català de Trànsit advise Andorra-bound drivers to travel before 08:00 or after midday to avoid delays.
