This operation, common for large vessels accessing the shipyards, will involve raising the movable section of the bridge. Consequently, there will be a temporary interruption of road traffic on one of the main communication routes connecting Cádiz with Puerto Real.
The entry of the 'VB Mustang' is part of the industrial activity that Navantia carries out in the Bay of Cádiz, where ship repair, maintenance, and transformation work are regularly performed. These maneuvers are essential for the shipyard's operation.
The José León de Carranza Bridge, a strategic infrastructure for both road connections and naval activity, features a lifting system designed to allow the passage of large ships. Although these openings are occasional, they often cause traffic delays, especially during peak hours.
Given this situation, drivers planning to travel between Cádiz and the mainland are advised to plan their routes in advance and anticipate possible delays around the announced time. The information has been disseminated by the Cádiz City Council to alert citizens about the impact on mobility.
