Owing to the work on building an underpass for pedestrians beneath the autovía opposite the Nevada Shopping Centre, part of it will be closed to traffic.

Work will start on the 15th and should last three weeks, necessitating the closure of the access ramp on the Jaén-bound lane and the one giving access to the PTS hospital and the shopping centre. Alternative access routes will be via the exit for Ogíjares on A-395.

The road will be closed from just after midnight on Monday the 15th and work will take approximately three weeks.

Construction crews on the pedestrian underpass (subway) learnt the hard way when they used the method of simply pushing the already-built tunnel through the earth as it deformed the road surface and they had to close the autovía to repair it, spending extra money on reinforcement.

This time they’re simply going to slice down through the autovía from above and lower the tunnel structure into the hole.

Editorial comment: diagram isn’t much help – sorry!
