Demonstrators have blocked sections of the AP-7 motorway and Barcelona's Ronda Ronda Litoral as a general strike began across Catalonia on Wednesday 11th November. Drivers heading into Barcelona also face closures on the A-2, according to the Catalan traffic authority, Trànsit.

Trànsit's early reports, relayed by Europa Press at 07:16, put closures on the AP-7 at five locations and on the Ronda Litoral near Drassanes, in central Barcelona. The disruption affects commuters and people travelling to industrial areas, including CIM Vallès in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda.
