Current Road Closures and Incidents

A vehicle fire has closed multiple lanes on the A-2 motorway in the direction of Barcelona, causing significant delays for commuters. According to the Servei Català de Trànsit's continuous traffic map, the incident occurred near the town of Sant Cugat and remains under investigation by regional authorities. On the AP-7 motorway, three lanes are closed heading towards Girona following a separate incident involving an incinerated vehicle. The blockage, confirmed by emergency services and reported by El Confidencial, has led to traffic jams stretching up to nine kilometres, as noted in a report by Agència Catalana de Notícies (ACN).

Real-Time Monitoring and Travel Advice

The Servei Català de Trànsit, the regional traffic authority, is monitoring the situation via its Continuously Updated Traffic Map, which integrates live data from cameras, aerial surveillance, and official reports. The map is accessible online at transit.gencat.cat and provides real-time updates on congestion, accidents, roadworks, and weather conditions. Drivers are advised to avoid affected routes where possible and to use alternative navigation apps such as Waze, which now incorporates verified data from the Servei Català de Trànsit under a partnership with the Generalitat. This integration allows for faster dissemination of official traffic alerts directly to users.

The Centre for Information on Catalan Road Traffic (CIVICAT) works to manage high-risk road segments and improve safety by delivering timely information to the public.

How to Stay Informed

Commuters can access live traffic updates through the official Info Trànsit website infotransit.blog.gencat.cat, which publishes verified incidents and travel advisories. The platform includes camera feeds from key junctions and allows searches by road name, municipality, or kilometre point. For immediate alerts, users can consult the Servei Català de Trànsit's incident portal, which lists active road closures, delays, and hazardous conditions across Catalonia’s 12,000-kilometre road network. The system relies on a combination of fixed infrastructure and real-time reporting to ensure accuracy.
