AP-7 Highway Faces Major Congestion After Tanker Fire
The AP-7 highway has become a major bottleneck following a tanker accident near Barberà del Vallès on Thursday. The incident, which caused a significant fire, led to a closure of the road for nearly 10 hours, resulting in traffic jams extending up to 20 kilometers. Rescue teams worked to clear the roadway and remove oil spills caused by the accident. In light of ongoing congestion, officials are considering new measures, including potential weekend restrictions on truck traffic. Transporters oppose these proposals, arguing they unfairly blame truck drivers for chronic traffic issues.
