An agreement signed between Fuengirola and Mijas Town Halls, the Junto de Andalucía and El Corte Inglés, means a notorious traffic hot spot on the A-387 is soon to be resolved.

The project, which will cost five million euros to complete, will include the construction of two additional lanes where La Loma connects with Avenida Clemente Díaz, one of the main arteries into Fuengirola; as well as two further roundabouts, one on each side of A-7 motorway.

Juan Cruz, the Councillor for Town Planning confirmed cooperation between the municipalities would ensure minimum disruption. “We will work together on this 19 month project to regulate traffic flow and to establish alternative routes so as to inconvenience drivers as little as possible,” he said.


Wendy Thomas who drives to work in Fuengirola from Mijas Pueblo is sceptical about the proposals. “it’s chaos especially in the morning rush hour. Adding additional lanes won’t help as there are simply too many cars trying to filter on and off the main road,” she says.

“Can you imagine the shambles this will cause for those 19 months whilst they are doing the work?” adds Paul Jackson who lives in Las Lagunas, Mijas Costa.
