It’s going to eventually join the motorway at the Ballabona junction. Initially it was only going to Los Concepcion but planning has now been approved I believe for the continuation to Ballabona. It is going on very quickly from what we have seen. The projected finish is in 2/3 years time

...ated 2/3 years for the first phase which only goes as far as La Concepcion. They have just got permission for the second phase to Ballabona so no idea when that will start or how long it will take. Hope this helps

Hi

I have found your replies to be very informative. Would you mind telling me your source of information as I am trying to widen my news sources of the area.
