Spain to Eliminate Tolls on 1,000 Kilometers of Major Highways by 2021

At the beginning of 2019, the Spanish Government had canceled the toll rights on the Burgos-Armenion sections in the Basque Country, pending the application of free access on the AP4 (Seville-Cádiz) and AP7 (Tarragona-Valencia-Alicante) axes from January 2020.

The Barcelona-La Jonquera and Zaragoza-Mediterranean axes will have to complete the loop in 2021, with a total of 1,000 kilometers of toll-free highways, not counting the 500 kilometers of ring roads around Madrid whose management is provided by the State.

Each year, Spain devotes a budget of more than one billion euros to the management of road networks. To meet these expenses, a symbolic amount will be applied shortly to ensure their maintenance and the salaries of employees.
