Overview

  • Fog descended again on the 16-km Arroxo–A Xesta stretch this afternoon, prompting fresh visibility alerts from the Dirección General de Tráfico.
  • A brief clear-skies window on Sunday morning restored normal traffic flow before fog rolled back in later in the day.
  • Temporary beacon lights have narrowed the hours of A-8 closures since their installation earlier this summer.
  • Motorists rerouted onto the N-634 face heavier summer traffic and increased safety risks on its winding, overtaking-prohibited sections.
  • Regional parties PP and BNG are intensifying pressure on Madrid to deploy the long-promised laser-light system after repeated fog-related disruptions.
