Specifically, traffic is cut off on the AP-6 motorways, from kilometer 40 to 110; the N-6, from kilometer 42, and the AP-61, from kilometer 61 to 88.
Also, the snow has affected the roads of the A-1, between El Molar and Somosierra, and the AP-6 in Guadarrama, thus prohibiting the circulation of trucks in the latter point.
The use of chains has also been recommended for vehicles passing through these areas.
Likewise, on the A-3, an accident has caused retentions at Villarejo de Salvanés, in the direction of Madrid, and an alternative detour has been enabled at kilometer 48.
During rush hour there have been problems that have been disappearing at the entrances to the capital on the A-4 in Pinto, on the Extremadura highway in Alcorcón and on the A-6 in Majadahonda and El Plantío, reported Telemadrid.
