Spain's Transport Minister Oscar Puente called to address AP-4 traffic congestion
Regional transport and mobility councilor Mario Muñoz-Atanet sent an urgent letter to Transport Minister Oscar Puente requesting a meeting to discuss provisional measures aimed at easing the severe traffic jams on the AP-4 highway in Andalusia. He highlighted the AP-4 as a strategic route for the region and the country, noting that the congestion affects thousands of citizens and raises safety concerns.
Muñoz-Atanet acknowledged that the drafting, approval and construction of the planned AP-4 expansion could take years, and therefore proposed short‑term solutions such as widening the shoulders and the median. He offered the ministry his full institutional collaboration to tackle the current collapse of the highway.
