Andorra la VellaThe snowstorm affecting the Pyrenees continues to cause major complications to road infrastructure. The border between Andorra and France remains closed this Monday, as reported by French media. The situation remains without a specific opening date, while the authorities work to restore traffic when conditions allow.
Despite the impact of the storm, the French prefecture has not yet issued any official statement on the state of the roads or on a possible opening forecast. This lack of information creates uncertainty both among the drivers who hope to be able to access the Principality and among the carriers who regularly use this route to connect with France.
Extreme traffic conditions
The heavy snowfall, combined with the risk of ice and avalanches, have complicated the situation at several points on the Pyrenees road network. The authorities remember that, in the face of these weather conditions, the priority is to guarantee the safety of the drivers. Additionally, those heading to the border are advised to plan alternate routes or postpone travel until normalcy is restored.
The closure of the border is a hindrance to the influx of visitors to the country, especially during the Christmas holidays, a crucial period for Andorran tourism and commerce. With the Spanish border open, it is expected that many tourists from the south will choose to access Andorra via this route.
