Exact location and impacts

The accident took place on the C-12 road, right at Roquetes, a point that connects several towns in Montsià and supports considerable traffic from both private vehicles and freight transport.

The road is completely closed in both directions, causing detours and congestion at the accesses to the town. Drivers are forced to seek alternative routes to avoid being trapped in the traffic jams.

Local impact and alternatives

How it affects residents and drivers

Roquetes and nearby towns see one of their main communication axes cut off during peak season, a time when mobility spikes due to work and tourism reasons.

Delays that could last for hours are expected, complicating daily life and commercial activity in the area.

Recommended alternative routes

Drivers who usually use the C-12 must take secondary roads or nearby highways, such as the N-340 or the AP-7, although these may also suffer congestion due to increased diverted traffic.

It is necessary to stay attentive to updates from the Catalan Traffic Service to adjust the route and avoid getting stuck.

Monitoring and official information

Sources and statements

The Catalan Traffic Service is the main source of information about the C-12 status and incident management. Its Twitter account has been the origin of the notification to the public.

It is also recommended to consult local authorities and media to stay up to date on possible updates or changes in the situation.

How to avoid surprises on the road

One of the best tips is to plan the route in advance, especially during rush hours or holidays. Users should continuously inform themselves to avoid jams that can cause hours of delay.

In case of essential travel, staying calm and following instructions is key to avoid further problems.

If you are still unsure how the jams on the C-12 will end, your only option is to wait or try the alternative route before it’s too late.
