AP-7 Northbound Remains Closed at L'Ampolla for Tanker Removal

Traffic diverts to the N-340 during the controlled transfer of the tanker's load.

Overview

  • Authorities cut both directions between L'Ampolla and L'Ametlla around 14:00 local time, then reopened the southbound carriageway at about 15:30.
  • Northbound traffic continues to be diverted via the N-340, with slowdowns of roughly 4 km near El Perelló and 3 km near L'Ampolla.
  • Servei Català de Trànsit advises using the C-12 and C-44 as alternative routes to avoid queues.
  • Firefighters deployed four units, including a chemical risk vehicle and a technological risk team, to supervise the transfer and lifting of the overturned cistern.
  • The closure follows a Saturday collision between a car and a tanker carrying mineral oil near L'Ametlla de Mar, with no serious injuries reported.
