The Provincial Council closes the CV-952 for five days for road surface works

The Provincial Council of Alicante will close the CV-952 road to through traffic, on the San Miguel de Salinas-Casas de Rebate section, for five days: from 8:00 AM on November 23 until 6:00 PM on November 27, 2026. The closure affects both directions of the road and is announced in the Official Gazette of the Province of Alicante (BOP) No. 216, dated November 12, 2026, under reference 8500/2026. The restriction applies to “all types of through traffic,” according to the published text.

The announcement appears in section III (Local Administration) of the provincial gazette and is signed by the Provincial Councilor for Roads, the Deputy Secretary, and the Head of Service of the provincial institution. The Council justifies the measure based on the need to carry out pavement rehabilitation works that “this Provincial Council will execute,” works which, in its judgment, make “the closure of the provincial road CV-952 to all types of through traffic necessary.”

The document identifies the action by its official name, “Pavement rehabilitation on the CV-952, San Miguel de Salinas - Casas de Rebate,” and does not detail the contract amount or the execution period of the works, beyond the closure schedule. Nor does it specify the type of pavement or the planned repair system.

A 3.2-kilometer section closed in both directions

The closure will be applied between kilometer points 1+800 and 5+000 of the road, in both directions, representing a section of approximately 3.2 kilometers in length. The phrasing used by the Council, “all types of through traffic,” does not distinguish between passenger cars, heavy vehicles, or freight transport: the road is forbidden for any travel that uses it as a transit route.

The essential data of the announcement are as follows:

• Length of the affected section: 3.2 kilometers, from kilometer point 1+800 to 5+000.
• Direction: both.
• Start of closure: 8:00 AM on November 23, 2026.
• End of closure: 6:00 PM on November 27, 2026.
• Duration: five days.
• Scope: all types of through traffic.
• Planned measures: road closure signage and alternative itineraries.

Calendar: from Monday, November 23 to Friday, November 27

The established schedule spans from Monday to Friday, with activation early Monday morning and lifting at 6:00 PM on Friday, so that the road should be restored before the weekend. The publication in the BOP on November 12 provides slightly more than a week of prior notice to regular users of the road before the first day of closure.

The time slot delimited in the announcement is continuous, without partial interruptions or enabled passage times: no specific openings are contemplated during the five days, according to the official text.

Closure Signage and Alternative Itineraries

The Provincial Council commits to installing “the corresponding road closure and alternative itinerary signage.” The announcement, however, does not specify the layout of these detours nor identify the routes through which the diverted traffic will be channeled, meaning users must rely on the physical signage placed on the ground.

The document also fails to indicate whether the alternative itineraries will differ for light and heavy vehicles, or if additional restrictions will be established on the roads that absorb the diverted traffic during those five days.

Impact on Residents and Hauliers

The closure directly affects daily travel between San Miguel de Salinas and Casas de Rebate, a route that will lack direct passage via the CV-952 for five full working days. The measure forces residents, workers, and hauliers who use this provincial road to reorganize their routes and add travel time for the duration of the work.

As this is a restriction covering all through traffic and not just a single lane, the impact extends to any activity dependent on this connection: goods delivery, public services, access to farms, and daily commutes. The publication of the announcement in the BOP No. 216 constitutes, for now, the only official notice available regarding the scope of the detours.
