Nighttime closures on the Bypass due to the Barranco del Gallego construction works

Published on June 05, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Emergency works in the Gallego ravine, following the 2024 flash flood, will force the closure of the Valencia Bypass for two consecutive nights. The section between the CV-36 and the A-3 will be closed on June 7 and 8 from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM, and from June 8 to 9 from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. Drivers will need to use detours via the V-31, V-30, A-3, CV-410, and CV-36, which will lengthen nighttime journeys.

Viaduct of the Valencia Bypass illuminated by nighttime construction lights, reflective orange barriers blocking the right lane, temporary detour signage mounted on metal tripods, an emergency truck with strobe lights active while workers inspect the dry bed of the Gallego ravine under the structure, yellow backhoe machinery removing debris and sediment, asphalt marked with cones and detour lines painted in yellow, cinematic nighttime style, headlight illumination from moving vehicles creating light trails, technical photorealism, atmosphere of nighttime civil works, high definition of concrete and metal textures.

Civil engineering and real-time traffic management 🚧

The work focuses on cleaning and reinforcing the ravine bed, using heavy machinery and temporary drainage systems. To minimize impact, a detour plan has been coordinated with smart traffic lights and dynamic signage on alternative routes. Although technology allows for quick reactions to traffic jams, the lack of a simultaneous full closure forces drivers to manually calculate routes or use navigation apps to avoid delays.

Your GPS says you'll make it, but the ravine says otherwise 🗺️

If your GPS promises you a quick trip via the Bypass, don't believe it. The Gallego ravine works have turned the route into a nighttime maze. Between detours and temporary signs, more than one person will end up going in circles like a hamster on its wheel. That said, if you get lost, at least you can enjoy the views of the V-30 at 2 AM. Plan ahead or you'll become Google Maps' guinea pig.
