Traffic jams on the AP-7 south affect Tarragona and Penedès this May 3
Traffic chaos is already felt on the AP-7 south with backups stretching from Constantí to Sant Sadurní d'Anoia. If you take this route today, prepare to lose time and patience.
The queues and stops are not occasional. These jams affect key points of the provincial and regional road network.
Areas affected by the jam on the AP-7 south
From Constantí to Tarragona
Traffic is slow at the exit from Constantí heading towards Tarragona. This stretch, close to the city, usually records delays during rush hours, but today the flow is especially halted.
From Santa Oliva to Banyeres del Penedès
The slowness extends in this section, located between Baix Penedès and Alt Penedès, hindering the usual flow of vehicles connecting with the AP-7.
Impact and consequences for drivers
From Vilafranca del Penedès to Sant Sadurní d'Anoia
This last stretch is undoubtedly the most problematic, with stops causing considerable queues. The agricultural and industrial zones of this region are affected, with an increase in travel times.
How traffic affects Tarragona and the Penedès
The slowness on the AP-7 complicates mobility both in the city of Tarragona and in the Penedès regions, generating delays in usual trips and impacting drivers' daily lives.
