Overview

  • A major crash on Good Friday and a landslide on Saturday caused severe traffic disruptions on the A-55 between Vigo and O Porriño during Semana Santa.
  • Vigo Mayor Abel Caballero has reiterated the need for a tunnel on the future A-52 to provide a safer and more direct route through Puxeiros.
  • Mos Mayor Nidia Arévalo has formally requested the Ministry of Transport to rebuild a collapsed retaining wall and address ongoing maintenance issues on the A-55.
  • Arévalo is also pressing for toll-free access to the AP-9 between Vigo and O Porriño to divert traffic from the hazardous A-55.
  • Despite formal motions and letters from local authorities, no approval or action has been taken by the central government to address these demands.
