A-23 Motorway at Gilet Reopens After Morning Crash Forces Hours-Long Closure
The A-23 motorway has been partially reopened near Gilet (Camp de Morvedre) after a crash forced a full closure in the direction of Teruel; the right lane remains shut at kilometre 4.
The right lane of the A-23 at kilometre 4, within the municipal boundary of Gilet (Camp de Morvedre), remains closed after a crash this morning brought the entire carriageway towards Teruel to a halt. Drivers passing through the stretch are advised to respect temporary road signs and proceed with caution.
For the duration of the closure, the DGT (national road authority) rerouted traffic along the N-234 while emergency services operated at the scene. The A-23/A-7 interchange — a key junction linking several Camp de Morvedre municipalities to the national road network — experienced queues as a result.
The A-23, known as the Autovía Mudéjar, begins in Sagunto and stretches 440 km to the Pyrenean border crossing at Somport. According to elperiodicodeaqui.com, conditions along the rest of the motorway had returned to normal, with the single blocked lane at the accident point the only remaining restriction.
