The highways that are still missing in northern Aragon after the inauguration of the A-22

One of the main issues in Spain's infrastructure is the renewal or improvement of the road network, and some Autonomous Communities, such as Aragon (the Autonomous Community with the fewest kilometers of highways per square kilometer in the country ), still have several open issues that will likely take decades to resolve .

The completion of the A-22 may be a relief or even a medal to be hanged for some leaders after fifteen years of delays , but the deputy of C hunta Aragonesista , Jorge Pueyo has reminded the Ministry of Transport and Mobility that in Aragon there are still several sections of highway and road unfinished. only in the province of Huesca .

Which highway sections remain closed in the Aragonese Pyrenees?

As of today, the sections of the A-21 connecting Fago with Puente de la Reina and Jaca Oeste with Jaca Norte remain closed in the province of Huesca. Meanwhile, the sections of the A-23 from Lanave to Sabiñánigo Sur, from Sabiñánigo Este to Sabiñánigo Oeste, and from Jaca Este to Jaca Norte remain closed.

Therefore, the north of the region continues to suffer from a shortage of high-speed lines , despite connecting Huesca and Lleida. Specifically , 37 kilometers remain closed in the Aragonese Pyrenees and more than 150 kilometers in the rest of the region. Furthermore, outside of high-speed lines, there are also unfinished projects: the section of the N-260 connecting the Balupor tunnels with Fiscal and the one that should connect Castejón de Sos and Pont de Suert also remain closed, as does the southern Huesca bypass .

Which highway sections will be open to traffic in the coming years in Aragon?

In the province of Huesca, the 8.7 kilometers of the Autovía Mudéjar highway, still under construction, connecting Sabiñánigo East with Sabiñánigo West, are expected to open in the coming months. Likewise, the 11-kilometer section of this same highway between Lanave and Sabiñánigo should be passable by 2026 .

On the other hand, the 12-kilometer section that is to connect Fago with Puente de la Reina to finally complete the direct connection between Jaca and Pamplona is still in the works after the contract for drafting the project was recently awarded, although work will not begin until 2030 .

Finally, we know that the tender for the Jaca bypass, which aims to connect the A-21 with the A-23, will be launched at the end of this year. This is an 8-kilometer stretch, so a long wait is also expected before construction begins .
