The Policía Foral has announced significant traffic disruption for Thursday 27 August and Friday 28 August 2026 on the Ronda de Pamplona (PA-30) and its access roads around Mutilva and Tajonar The reason is resurfacing and construction work on the new Glorieta (roundabout) at the junction with the NA-2310. The main areas affected are the PA-30 on- and off-ramps; police advise allowing extra journey time and using alternative routes where possible.
According to the regional administration, this is finishing work to lay the road surface and complete the new roundabout at the link to the NA-2310 near the Mutilva industrial estate. The project was put out to tender by the Gobierno de Navarra and awarded in April 2026. Its aim is to improve road safety at the existing junction and access to nearby commercial sites.
Police expect slow-moving traffic at peak times, particularly towards Tajonar and on access roads to the Mutilva industrial estate. Policía Foral patrols are due to manage traffic and ensure temporary diversions operate safely. The notices issued so far do not specify exact times for possible ramp closures.
Background: the PA-30, known as the Ronda de Pamplona, is the outer ring road around Navarra’s capital, linking several suburbs and industrial areas. The project in Valle de Aranguren aims to eliminate conflict points caused by left turns and standardise junction layouts. The new roundabout on the NA-2310 is part of a longer-term reorganisation of junctions, being carried out in stages. The measure was prepared under a cooperation framework between the Gobierno de Navarra and Valle de Aranguren and commissioned following a public tender.
Facts, quotations and forecasts should be distinguished: the Policía Foral traffic notices are dated 26 August 2026 and apply to 27 and 28 August 2026. The expected effects – congestion and longer journey times in the short term, and improved traffic flow in the medium term – are based on official information about the project’s aims. There is currently no precise information on the duration of individual restrictions beyond those two days.
