Traffic remains heavily disrupted in Barcelona and surrounding areas on Tuesday 20th October 2026, with significant delays reported on the Ronda Litoral (B-10) and Ronda de Dalt (B-20). According to the Servei Català de Trànsit, the Ronda Litoral has up to 7.5 kilometres of congestion in both directions: seven kilometres between km 14 and 7 towards Nus del Llobregat, and another 7.5 kilometres between km 9.5 and 17 towards Nus de la Trinitat. Exit 21 remains closed. The Ronda de Dalt (B-20) also has ongoing congestion, with three kilometres of slow traffic between km 11 and 14 towards Nus del Llobregat.

## Breakdown on C-25 near Sant Hilari Sacalm

A vehicle breakdown has severely affected traffic on the C-25 between Sant Hilari Sacalm and Arbúcies (km 208.6–211) in the direction of Lleida. Only one lane remains open, leading to 2.4 kilometres of congestion. The incident, which initially closed the les Comes tunnel between km 209 and 209.5, has now partially eased but continues to cause delays. The Servei Català de Trànsit confirmed the disruption remains active as of 12:00.

### Bus services experiencing delays

- Sagalés line e9, connecting Barcelona and Santa Maria d’Oló, is running with delays due to traffic congestion.
- Moventis lines 88 and 89 may face longer waiting times due to heavy traffic in the Drassanes area of Barcelona.
- Sagalés line 360 will be modified on Sunday 25th October due to the Triatlón Challenge Barcelona. Four stops will be temporarily cancelled between 6:00 and 14:30.

Some services have returned to normal: Sagalés line 400, which connects Barcelona and Granollers, resumed regular operation after morning delays. Line 591 BUC in Cardedeu and line e7 to La Vall del Tenes also resumed normal service after earlier technical issues.

## FGC rail disruptions affect multiple lines

Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) has suspended services on lines L8 (Molí Nou) and S3 (Can Ros) due to a facility breakdown. Additionally, lines R5 (Manresa) and R6 (Igualada) are making stops at all stations along their routes. The company has not yet provided an estimated time for service restoration.

Passengers on the Barcelona-Vallès line are also affected. A person on the tracks has caused major disruptions: lines S1 (Terrassa) and S2 (Sabadell) now run only between Gràcia and their terminals, while line L7 operates between Gràcia and Avinguda Tibidabo. Line L6 remains suspended.

### Other transport updates
