Overview

  • The Pont del McDonalds on the CV-403 reopened to four-lane traffic on May 19, restoring full capacity after October's devastating floods caused its collapse.
  • A provisional concrete slab had maintained limited traffic flow since the riada, with reconstruction delayed by complex breakwater stabilization work.
  • The bridge serves as a critical link between Torrent and nearby towns like Xirivella, Aldaia, and Alaquàs, and connects to the CV-36 corridor.
  • President Carlos Mazón and local officials oversaw the reconstruction, which included final paving, signage, and junction improvements completed overnight.
  • This reopening is part of the Generalitat Valenciana's €30 million road recovery program, with three additional flood-damaged roads slated for completion by summer.
