The end of the tolls means that the motorways will be free for the first time in 40 years.
From tomorrow, the following sections of motorways will be transferred to the Ministry of Transport and at the same time will be free:
- AP2 between Alfajarín (Zaragoza) and El Vendrell (Tarragona) – 215 kilometers
- AP7 between La Jonquera and Salou – 245 kilometers
- AP7 between Montmeló and Papiol – 31 kilometers
In addition, on two Catalan toll motorways there will no longer be toll roads and will be managed by the Generalitat:
- C32 in Maresme, between Barcelona and Lloret de Mar – 48 kilometers
- C33 between Barcelona and Montmeló (25 km)
It is thought the scrapping of the tolls could save hauliers as much as €1,900 per truck every year.
