Commuting Construction Update

Update, from this morning's Valencia Life newsletter:

BRIDGE DEMOLISHED
Two years late, workers have now started demolishing the flyover linking the Avenida Catalunia in Valencia to the V-21 motorway that eventually joins the AP 7 at Puzol. Its place will be taken by a new tunnel that is under construction as is a new, bigger roundabout, giving better access to Avenida Aragon and the north of the City. The Infrastructure Ministry has expressed the ‘hope’ that the works will finally be completed in time for the Americas Cup races next year. In the meantime, a provisional access road has been created, but this did not prevent the formation of huge traffic tailbacks during the rush hour that yesterday stretched as far as twelve kilometers.
