D
rivers using the N-332 near Torrevieja are being advised to prepare for disruption from 30 March until the end of May while the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility installs a new AI-controlled traffic light system at the busy Punta Prima–Rocio del Mar roundabout, located on the border between Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa. The ministry has described the scheme as a pioneering project. With a budget of just over e409,000, including VAT, it is being funded through the European Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. The objective is to ease traffic at one of the area’s most problematic junctions by introducing an intelligent system that can respond in real time to changing traffic conditions.
