A Happy toll-free New Year in Costa Blanca!

A GROUP of Marina Alta residents are planning a New Year’s Eve “bring-your-own-dinner” to celebrate the lifting of AP-7 motorway tolls.
They plan to enter the AP-7 at Benissa and drive to the Sant Antoni service area at Kilometre 613.2 where they will enjoy a picnic supper before celebrating both the New Year and the abolition of tolls by driving to the Ondara exit.
For the first time since the AP-7’s Altea-Ondara section was opened in 1979, there will be nothing to pay, said the Adeu AP-7 group, which has publicised the event via the social media and has already received enquiries from 300 people.
Despite general satisfaction that the AP-7 will soon be toll-free, doubts are arising regarding the ability of its existing access roads to bear the increase in traffic linking to the saturated N-332 main road
