Mobility in the province of Cádiz has become a critical issue, especially for its residents and the numerous visitors who arrive during peak seasons. Current infrastructures, according to the Junta de Andalucía, are proving insufficient and congested, causing significant travel complications.
A spokesperson for the Junta de Andalucía has cited the AP-4, which is "absolutely collapsed," and the A-7, affected by "continuous traffic jams," as examples. Furthermore, they pointed out that flight prices from Jerez airport are "unaffordable for many families" and that the railway connection with Algeciras has been "closed since January."
“"The AP-4 is absolutely collapsed, and the third lane of the highway has not yet begun. When it is executed, if it is done after 2030, it will only reach the province of Seville, without continuity towards Cádiz, Jerez, or the rest of the province."
In terms of road infrastructure, criticism has also been directed at the "delay" in the execution of the Tres Caminos junction, located in San Fernando, and the persistent congestion on the A-7, which directly affects journeys to towns such as San Roque, Algeciras, and Tarifa. The situation at Jerez airport has also been criticized, citing a "lack of commitment" that negatively impacts connectivity and ticket costs.
Finally, the "abandonment" of the high-speed railway network in the province has been lamented, despite Cádiz being home to the country's main port. The Junta de Andalucía has urged political representatives to prioritize the interests of the province over party loyalties.
