The adaptation works of the Mascarat tunnels have been causing traffic hold-ups in recent weeks on the national highway 332 between Calpe and Altea. Until now only one lane had been closed to traffic, diverting traffic through the other lane.
As of Sunday, May 14th, until Sunday, May 21st, work will be carried out that affects the entire highway platform, and so it will be necessary to carry out a complete cut off of traffic on the N-332 in the area between Km points 164+700 and 165+500.
Due to this outage, users will need to use the AP-7 motorway as an alternative to the N-332, from the Altea-Calpe junction (exit 64) to the Benissa-Teulada-Gata de Gorgos junction (exit 63). The cut of the N-332 highway and the alternative itinerary will be conveniently signposted, both on the N-332 itself, and at exits 63 and 64 of the AP-7.
The accesses from the N-332 to Maryvilla and the Barranc Salat area will be open and residents of these areas will be able to circulate without problems, the only restriction is traffic to Altea on the N-332.
The works, included in the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and financed with NextGeneration funds, are aimed at adapting these infrastructures to the safety and road requirements established in European regulations.
