Tres Puentes

There’s always lots of building going on around here. Two big projects are the construction of motorways, one that runs along the coast and the other that comes down from Granada to Motril. This is a new bridge near Lanajaron. If traffic continues to increase will there be 33 bridges here in the future?

Factoid: The Autovía A-44 is a highway in Andalucia, Spain. It is also known as the Autovía de Granada / Sierra Nevada. It starts on the coast at Motril at the junction of the N340 initially being called the N-323. It heads up the gorge of the Rio Guadalfeo into the Valle de Lecrin with Las Alpujarras to the east. The road heads through the Sierra Nevada passing over the Puerto del Suspiro del Moro (865 m). It then passes to the east of Granada the north of which is a junction with the Autovía A-92. The road heads north through the Sierra de Lucena by the Puerto del Carretero (1,040 m). It then follows the valley of the Rio Guadaldulón to Jaen. It then joins the Autovía A-4 at Bailén.
