Valencia's Transport Crisis After DANA

Published: 2024-10-31

The recent DANA storm has wreaked havoc in the Valencia region, causing significant disruptions in transportation.

The Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, highlighted the severe damage to the A-7 bypass, a critical route for over 100,000 vehicles daily, which will take months to repair.

The storm has also devastated the railway network, with the high-speed Madrid-Valencia line and several local lines out of service.

The chaos has left hundreds of passengers stranded, with many unable to reach their destinations.

Authorities are working on temporary solutions, but the full restoration of services will take time.

The focus remains on supporting victims and their families while addressing the extensive infrastructure damage.
