driving in spain luxury property in la zagaleta san pedro bypass traffin in marbella villas in marbella a
Anyone taking a holiday on the Costa del Sol who has tried to drive from Marbella to Estepona in the middle of August will have come across the bottleneck that is otherwise known as San Pedro.
Lying just a few kilometers to the west of Puerto Banus, San Pedro de Alcantara is a town that is regularly home to queuing traffic, particularly in the morning and evening rush-hours, and during the high tourist season. The problem is caused primarily by the convergence of the Ronda Road with the coastal highway, and the 3 further junctions with traffic lights that provide access to the town itself.
The bypass to alleviate all of this congestion has been in the planning for years, and finally received the green light earlier this year.
Work is now underway, but of course we can expect plenty of disruption whilst the work takes place. The perfect example of this was the 12 kilometre queue that built up last Monday morning – apparently, the guys who were supposed to be manning the temporary traffic lights left for work later than normal, and themselves became stuck in the queues, meaning that the bottleneck wasn´t unclogged until midday.
I get the feeling that this one could run and run….
