A-23 Motorway at Gilet Reopened after Accident Blocked Traffic towards Teruel
The A-23 motorway near Gilet (Camp de Morvedre district) was reopened on Friday 19 June after a crash at kilometre 4 diverted traffic for several hours.
On Friday morning, 19 June, a collision at kilometre 4 of the A-23 shut down the carriageway towards Teruel for much of the morning rush. With the main route closed, drivers were routed onto the N-234, the conventional road that runs alongside the motorway through that stretch. Once crews cleared the scene, the motorway reopened, though the right-hand lane is still out of service and traffic authorities are advising extra caution. Congestion built up mainly at the A-23/A-7 interchange, the main junction serving several Camp de Morvedre municipalities. The Autovía Mudéjar connects the comarca with Aragon and continues through the Pyrenees, covering 428 km to the Somport border crossing; the section from Sagunto opened in 1997 and remains the key fast road between the comarca and the Spanish interior. Temporary road signs remain in place while works continue, according to elperiodicodeaqui.com.
