📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (Mitma) will carry out an accident simulation next Thursday, October 5 in the Piedras Blancas tunnel located on the S-30 motorway, in Cantabria. This fact will motivate the closure in both directions of this road, from the links of Herrera de Camargo (km 5) to Revilla de Camargo (km 7).
The closure to traffic, including the Piedras Blancas tunnel, will remain from 22:00 hours on Thursday, October 5, until 05:00 hours on Friday, October 6. In this period, an alternative itinerary will be established, duly signposted, which will divert traffic to the N-623 and A-67 roads.
The objective of the drill is to check the effectiveness of the action protocols established in the Tunnel Self-Protection Plans in the event of an accident inside. In this way, the effectiveness in the detection of the accident, the activation of the specific action protocol, the operation of the existing safety facilities and the coordination of the actions between the internal and external emergency services of the tunnel are verified.
All this in accordance with Royal Decree 635/2006, of May 26, on minimum safety requirements in State road tunnels.
