The connection between the A-5 and the M-30 will be out of service
The direct link between the A-5 and the M-30 will be closed in both directions from 10 November to 23 December due to the underground works. Traffic will continue on the A-5 with two lanes in each direction, and there will be diversions via the avenida de Portugal y Batán.
The project involves placing 142 beams and excavating around 7,000 cubic metres of earth in the section where the motorway will be buried. To carry out the work, the connection between the A-5 and the M-30 will be closed in both directions from 10 November to 23 December.
Drivers on the A-5 will still be able to use the section under construction, with two lanes in each direction. Direct access to the M-30 will be interrupted, and diversions will be routed via Avenida de Portugal and Batán.
The work also includes demolishing the current ramp. A 172-metre stretch will be covered, in addition to installing the beams and excavating the ground.
The City Council and the Consorcio Regional de Transportes have arranged reinforcements for public transport. EMT lines in the area will increase their service by up to 25%, while Metro will run more frequent trains on lines 3 and 10.
Intercity buses will have greater capacity on services to Navalcarnero y Móstoles. Larger vehicles are also planned for services to Alcorcón. The municipal cold weather plan is part of another area of city services and is not related to these closures.
Authorities advise planning journeys and considering alternative routes via the M-40 or the A-42. The A-6 is also recommended.
