The Traffic Department (DGT) is set to open the extra lane on the A-49 on April 12th to facilitate the movement of traffic traveling from Portugal and Huelva to Sevilla.
The extra lane, marked by cones, will be open between 12:00 and 19:00 between km 4.8 and km 42. In addition, to aid circulation in the area, there will be a minimum speed limit of 60 kph and a maximum of 80 kph.
This will be the first time this year that the extra lane scenario has been used but the DGT is studying the possibility of using it more frequenty in periods when greater volumes of traffic are expected.
