A major collision between a lorry and a motorbike caused extensive traffic disruption on Barcelona's Ronda Litoral (B-10) on Friday afternoon. The incident led to queues stretching over 10 kilometres, affecting commuters from Santa Coloma de Gramenet to the city's port area.

The accident occurred around 14:00 near the [Nus de la Trinitat interchange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nus%5Fde%5Fla%5FTrinitat?ref=barna.news), heading towards Vallès, as vehicles exited Barcelona. Initially, the collision forced authorities to close several lanes, leaving only one open for traffic. This immediate restriction created severe bottlenecks on the busy urban motorway.

## Extensive Delays Across Barcelona's Ring Road

Although authorities later restored full circulation, the significant congestion persisted for hours. Traffic jams exceeded 10 kilometres along almost the entire length of the Ronda Litoral. This major artery is critical for daily commutes, connecting Barcelona's northern metropolitan areas with its southern districts and the port. Residents and workers travelling through the city experienced considerable delays as a result.

## Impact on Commuters and City Traffic

[Trànsit, the Catalan Traffic Service](http://transit.gencat.cat/?ref=barna.news), reported the details of the incident. The Nus de la Trinitat is a complex junction where several major roads converge, making it a frequent point for congestion. An incident here often creates ripple effects across the city's road network. The Friday afternoon timing further exacerbated the situation, coinciding with peak travel times for many Barcelona residents.

Authorities will continue to monitor traffic flow on the Ronda Litoral following such incidents. Drivers should check [real-time traffic updates](https://vertexaisearch.cloud.google/?ref=barna.news) before travelling, especially during busy periods, to avoid similar disruptions.
