A new road –the first section of the second ring road– is the Mallorca Council's recipe to alleviate the traffic collapse suffered by the access routes to Palma. It is an action “of great social consensus”, according to the island institution, with a projected cost of 350 million euros that must continue the dual carriageway of the Ma-30 between the Manacor road and the Llucmajor motorway. The project has gained in ambition, budget, and execution time compared to what Galmés himself presented in the year 2024. The works will be divided into two phases, valued respectively at 90 and 260 million euros, and the Council plans to execute them partially simultaneously to reduce their total duration, which between the two phases adds up to six years and two months of work. The president of the Council, Llorenç Galmés, announced this Wednesday that the first phase will begin to be executed before the end of the year, while the technical managers have set the start of the works in 2027, once the processing and the public information period have been completed.

A man has died and another has been seriously injured in a traffic accident between two cars that occurred on Tuesday morning on Palma's second ring road.

The Council of Mallorca has modified the project of the first section of the second Palma beltway with the aim of "facilitating the construction" of the future train that will run from Palma to Llucmajor, according to the Director General of Infrastructure and Technical Vehicle Inspection, Rafel Gelabert. The island institution will build a 15-meter-wide underpass beneath the underground tunnel that will provide access to Son Ferriol from the motorway to the airport.
