A key section of the Vía Complutense in Alcalá reopens to traffic after weeks of works
The section of the Vía Complutense between Parque O’Donnell-Roca and Luis Astrana Marín has reopened to traffic in Alcalá de Henares, restoring circulation towards Madrid after several weeks of works. The project is part of the renewal of the sanitation system and affects one of the city's most heavily used roads.
The reopening is an immediate relief for those who cross Alcalá daily. In recent weeks, closures and diversions have disrupted mobility, forcing drivers to find alternative routes during peak hours.
Work is now continuing on the carriageway towards Guadalajara, where signage will be adjusted and both lanes will gradually be reopened. The aim is to fully restore traffic as soon as possible.
The project includes the renewal of the sewer that connects this road with the area around the Torrelaguna tunnel, a key improvement for the functioning of the sanitation network.
The project has an investment of more than three million euros, as part of the Programa de Inversión Regional of the Comunidad de Madrid, focused on modernising urban infrastructure.
For those travelling around Alcalá, the reopening means a return to more direct and predictable journeys. Even so, the works are a reminder of how these kinds of interventions, though necessary, temporarily reshape mobility and force the city to adapt to new rhythms during their progress.
