The connection of the Vía Ártabra with the AP 9 motorway will be completed within three years, according to the forecasts that the Xunta de Galicia manages. Work on the first section of this extension began several weeks ago. Today the works were supervised by the Regional Minister of Infrastructure, Ethel Vázquez, and the Mayor of Oleiros, Ángel García Seoane. The two have joined their voices to demand that the Ministry of Public Works unblock the second tranche now, which will be the final connection with the highway and which has been rejected by the Council of Cambre for the chosen route.

The whole of the action has an investment of 40 million euros. The Xunta de Galicia has started work despite the fact that the final section has not yet been approved by the Ministry of Public Works. The Galician Government and the Council insist that the Government must now give free rein to action.
The mayor of Oleiros has assured that the extension of the Vía Ártabra will alleviate traffic on the A Pasaxe bridge and on the Costa da Tapia, which will improve mobility in the whole of the A Coruña region.
