I have not long got home from being caught up in the trafic, it was very badly organised to say the least it has taken us just under four hours to reach our house just 20 minutes away !!!! We left furngirola in fact Iceland just before 7.30...we hit the trafic going towards marbella just after the castle...we finally made it to la cala (2 hours stuck)from there the police were diverting everyone off the road, yes the A7 (N 340) was cut off from la cala...yes the accident was in Calipso....so why cut the whole main linking road off so far back ??ok so we went down the road that took us to torrenueva pulled back out onto the A7 on route back home only to get stuck again at Riviera opposite Max Beach where we were all diverted off up into the hills....not even moving...finally after just under 2 hours we reach where the toll roads starts...signs and police everywhere saying that the toll was free.....no good to me i needed to get to Cabopino....by now i have 2 screaming kids needed the bathrooms, food and drink, we managed to get back down to the bottom of el zoco and took the strip road off and came out in calahonda....back on main road watching the traffic that was gridlocked coming from marbella going towards fuengirola...my point being this accident happened at 16.55...I left fuengiorola at 19.30 why did the police not divert everyone to the toll roads from there or at least advised !!!! so annoying cause once you are on that road you are stuck you can not get off....there are no emergency gaps in the roads to redivert trafic back...it's horrendous and no i am not a turist i have lived here for over 25 years and always the same story...My thoughts are will the ingured and pray that all will be we, and for the poor people who witnest this accident, also this is the same bridge that came down i think about 4 years ago......
