Murcia Motorway

San Javier to Murcia now has a toll free motorway which goes through Sucina and Zeneta.The regional president was due to open it last week.The road is also linked with the motorway to Yecla.

The last five kilometres were still being completed due to building work on the Madrid to Cartagena railway.This road it is said will save at least 30 minutes on the drive from theĀ  Mar Menor to Murcia and it is expected to take traffic from the busy C-3319 from Murcia to San Javier.

A 30 kilometre cycleway has also been built along the motorway which crosses several bird protection areas near Sierra Escalona,Sierra Altaona and Monte El Valle,which are included in the European natural park network Natura 2000.

A bird information centre has been built at El Valle close to the motorway and it can be reached on a bicycle.Residents and visitors are being encouraged to use this cycle route.The regional government has invested 111 million euros in the new infrastructure.
