The improvements in the toll-free zone of Autopista del Sol AP-7, at the Arroyo de la Miel link (exit 222), resolve the traffic flow demands in one of the most populated areas of the Costa del Sol. They solve the traffic capacity problems and put an end to the frequent traffic jams in the lanes and shoulders of both sides of the road.
To carry out this link, popularly known as the Arroyo de la Miel link, it was necessary to modify a total length of 2.7 kilometers of the road, and execute two underpasses, 700 linear meters of walls, and 3.6 kilometers of branches and braided lanes.
Due to the increase in traffic on this road since the original project was drafted in 2015, it was necessary to modify the initial plan and draft a new project in 2018 with changes in the provisional detours and adjustments to the layout. In this way, it was possible to keep the existing branches operational for most of the work, significantly improving the operating conditions of the AP-7 during construction. This change also involved the modification of drainage, walls, and structures. The total cost of this remodeling, including modifications, has amounted to 12 million euros.
We are moving towards safer and more sustainable mobility for everyone.
