Overview

  • The CV-33 returned to full four-lane operation on August 13, nearly ten months after a bridge span collapsed in the October 2024 floods.
  • Reconstruction works used 24.6 m prefabricated pretensioned beams, special foundations and anti-scour protections to strengthen the bridge against future extreme weather.
  • The autovía carries about 48,000 vehicles and 2,000 trucks daily, making its full reopening critical for metropolitan connectivity.
  • This milestone concludes a nine-month campaign that provisionally reopened all 18 regional roads damaged by the DANA floods.
  • President Carlos Mazón attended the ceremony and condemned Madrid’s lack of non-repayable funds, saying the project was covered entirely by regional budgets.
