Sad New Record

Perhaps the classic AC/DC number can best sum up where the A-7 peters out into the N-340… Highway to Hell.

A-7 Road Accident

There was nasty accident on the A-7 Autovia yesterday evening, around 8pm on the 303 kilometre point; i.e., right in the middle of the Cantarrijan bridge, which spans the Malaga-Granada provincial boundary.

New Roundabout Demand

With the ever-growing numbers of visitors to the very popular Cantarrijan beach, just west of La Herradura, calls for a roundabout to be built on the N-340 are also growing. In fact, several plenary meetings of the municipal council have culminated in a request to the Demarcacion de Carretera (road authorities) for such a junction, as well as one at the entrance to the Urbanizacion de Las Palomas, just before the Cerro Gordo tunnel.

Rehearsing Tragedy

Towards the end of last month, drivers found that the entrance to the A-7 was blocked by the Guardia Civil – the same was the case at the Taramay end.

Spoilt Malaga

Many Granadinos couldn’t believe what they were reading in their daily newspapers; while the A-7 hardly advances and in some cases has stood still for over a year, the bloody Malgueños have had a troublesome bend in their long-existing stretch of the A-7 straightened out, bless them.

Top Tunnel

The A-7 autovia tunnel, Cantalobos has been voted the safest tunnel in Spain by the national motoring club RACC!

Bridge Disaster Untried

Five years have passed since the A-7 bridge collapse in Torrecuevas, when six workers fell to their deaths, but even after all this time, nobody has been held responsible for the disaster – Spain’s judicial system at its worst.

A-7 Rescued?

The question is; whom do you believe? The Government states one thing but the facts on the ground indicate another – the opposite, in fact.

Three More Summers II

As part of the austerity measures, the Government announced that it would cut back 6,400 million euros on public spending. Even before this announcement, the long-awaited completion date for the A-7 coastal highway had been set back to 2011.
