THE A-334, a vital road linking Serón with nearby towns in the Almanzora region, has reopened thanks to a temporary detour.
A-334 Road severely damaged by DANA floods
This crucial route was severely damaged during the DANA floods, which caused a 30-metre stretch of the road to collapse after heavy rainfall.
Temporary detour ensures continued access to A-334
The detour, which stretches 300 metres, follows the right bank of the road, passing over a temporary bridge. This solution ensures the road remains open until permanent repairs can be made. Roadwork, including paving and the installation of temporary signage, was completed recently.
Minister of Development praises quick restoration efforts
Rocío Díaz, Minister of Development, praised the swift efforts to restore the road, stating its importance for local traffic, especially for larger vehicles that previously struggled with alternative routes. The floodwaters from the Jauca Stream washed out a drainage structure at kilometre 32, leading to the damage.
300-Metre detour is keeping traffic moving
The A-334 is a critical connection, linking the Almanzora Valley to regional motorways and facilitating access between towns. The temporary detour provides much-needed relief as reconstruction efforts continue.
