Marbella Town Hall Seeks Provisional A-7 Elviria Exit Reopening
Marbella Town Hall is pressing the Ministry of Transport for the temporary reopening of the A-7 exit serving Elviria and Las Chapas after September's closure caused disruption
The closure of the A-7 exit serving Elviria and Las Chapas has caused significant disruption for residents and businesses in the area. Marbella Town Hall is now pushing for its temporary reopening.
Marbella Town Hall will formally request the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility to provisionally open the A-7 exit towards the Elviria and Las Chapas areas, specifically around La Víbora. This decision follows the Town Hall's analysis of the impact caused by the exit's closure in September 2026.
Mayor Ángeles Muñoz announced that the Town Hall’s Local Government Board approved on 27 October 2026 an urgent, detailed report to be sent to the Ministry. The report details concerns regarding traffic flow, overall mobility, and road safety in the affected area.
It specifically requests that this access be temporarily reinstated until the planned infrastructure projects, aimed at reorganising traffic in the vicinity, are completed. Mayor Muñoz stated that the closure in September 2026 was implemented unilaterally, without prior communication to the Town Hall, local residents, businesses, or other affected establishments.
She further noted that the authorisation granted by the State Road Demarcation in 2021 included not only the removal of certain connections but also the construction of a southern service road and the adaptation of the Elviria link. These works, she explained, "have not yet been completed."
