Since last October 27, the light panels of the M-30 have been screaming in their own way to warn long-suffering drivers that the exit to Pyramides is through the road’s northern tunnel. South Bypass It is tightly closed. It is recommended to trace this route on the adjacent surface Mendez Alfaroas the lesser of two evils to overcome the traffic congestion that occurs daily in this section of the fair. The arrests were routine during the afternoon rush hour, when people flee work in search of slippers at home. Both are for those looking to escape Marquez Vadillo And also for those who want to climb the road, convinced that they will reach it Virgin Port It can give them a little relief. Until further notice, the underground route to the south is the route to avoid.
But what is the reason for this mysterious outage that is causing the death of thousands of Madrid residents in the region? Is this a sudden action by the City Council? When will this access reopen? There are many questions on the minds of hundreds of users of this section. More than one person has suddenly come across this stone in their daily car routine, and it is already loaded by default. Gran Madrid tries to answer all these questions, but there are some, such as the final point of intervention, that do not have a date on the calendar due to the weather.
The hole in the Yeserías walkway that caused the cut.
The first thing is to reveal the reason for this closure of traffic on the branch towards Pyramids, via 4.2 km of asphalt Which demarcates the northern tunnel of Skip south. The reason is some leaks caused by rain, which led to a hole in the bicycle path on Paseo D Street com. plasterworksCorner with Melilla Street. The warning signal that came with the rains at the end of August in the capital. Thus, from Madrid Calle 30, work is being carried out inside the tunnel, where a strengthening wall is being created to avoid problems in the future.
Negative expectations
“Concrete works are carried out even on Saturdays,” they told this newspaper, emphasizing the meticulous pace of the intervention, which, however, in autumn has to deal with an uncomfortable guest: rain. From the Works and Equipment Area, on which Madrid Calle 30 depends, they confirm that the episodes of rainfall recorded in these days of November, as well as those approaching today, have delayed and will delay the action that will continue throughout next week. Obviously, this foundation is not compatible with water.
Once these works are completed, replacement of the damage to the road must be carried out on the surface with backfilling of the hole with concrete, which will be done from the outside. Finally, after the wall inside the tunnel is rebuilt, the bike path will be repaired.
Whether traffic will then reopen is a complete unknown, hence the urgent message: “Better to lose five minutes on the surface across the southern interchange, than to collapse the tunnel further.” This is the first major surgery on the southern bypass that has already reached maturity (2007) It has become an essential means of traffic in the capital, since it was designed to free the city’s South Node from traffic. With its implementation, more than one 40% of that southern arc, Always very crowded. Small and large reliefs are even more evident in these times as we coexist with great works across the city. And you know what the popular saying goes: “When the M-30 gets constipated, all of Madrid sneezes.” This cold still has a few afternoons of recovery left.
