Sierra Nevada Highway A-44. Albolote-Santa Fe section
-
Granada
The purpose of the project is to build the section of the Granada Outer Beltway on the Sierra Nevada A-44 Highway, whose main role is to be used as an alternative to the current Granada Beltway in a corridor further west than the current N-323 (Bailén-Motril).
The idea behind this bypass is for long-haul traffic between Madrid and Motril and between Malaga and Motril not to use the existing Granada Beltway, which is currently plagued by heavy congestion, but instead to go through the new corridor and thus draw traffic away from the Beltway.
