The so-called southern round of Logroño will be the first section in La Rioja of the future A-68 highway. The first segment of the AP-68 motorway that will be toll-free, once the works that are currently being undertaken are completed, with a budget of about 112 million euros. The forecast is that the works will be finished by 2023.
It will, therefore, be three years before the complete release of the AP-68, as announced by the Minister of Transport and Mobility, José Luis Ábalos, on his recent visit to La Rioja. A road without tolls to favor road communication between La Rioja and its neighboring communities, that is, the Basque Country, Navarra and Aragon. To connect the region with Bilbao and Zaragoza.
Municipalities in the metropolitan area
But this future southern variant of the capital not only benefits Logroño but also a good number of municipalities that make up its metropolitan belt. From Fuenmayor to Murillo de Río Leza, passing through Navarrete, Lardero, Villamediana de Iregual, Arrúbal and Agoncillo. These are some of the most outstanding issues of this action, one of the largest investment in the history of improving communications in La Rioja.
– The entrance and exit door in the eastern area will be in Navarrete and Fuenmayor.
– The project includes up to eight links. One of the main ones is the remodeling of the current route of the road. N-111 between Lardero and Logroño. Mayor of Lardero.
– From Villamediana de Iregua will improve access to the San Pedro Hospital, the Portalada industrial estate and the eastern area of Logroño, in addition to improving the flow of traffic on the LR-250 road.
– Arrúbal y Agoncillo is the other access door, in this case in the west.
