Accident details

The Catalan Traffic Service has confirmed that the accident has forced the complete closure of the C-31 road at Calafell. The closure affects both directions, which poses a serious problem for drivers using this route.

Impact on local mobility

The C-31 is one of the most used routes to connect the Costa Daurada with other parts of the territory. The closure causes significant traffic jams and diverts traffic to alternative routes, which are not prepared to handle this volume.

Suggested alternative routes

Drivers are forced to seek secondary roads to avoid the closed stretch, although these are often slower and have less capacity. Patience is necessary, as congestion will be inevitable.

Official response and monitoring

The speed of the intervention is key to minimizing the duration of the disruption.

Updates from the Catalan Traffic Service

The SCT keeps users informed through its social networks and official channels. Information is updated as the situation evolves, to facilitate trip planning.
