DGT Lifts Heavy-Truck Ban, Reopening Main Galicia Corridors

Transport and retail groups label the preventive halt disproportionate.

Overview

  • The DGT’s weather restrictions for vehicles over 7,500 kg were eased late Friday and fully lifted Saturday morning, restoring access on the A-6/N-6 and A-52 into Galicia.
  • About 1,100 trucks that spent the night stopped in Zamora began moving after 9:30 a.m. Saturday, according to the Government Subdelegation.
  • Temporary, localized controls continued Saturday at snow-affected points such as Neira de Rei and Pedrafita do Cebreiro, with holds reported at Vega de Valcarce.
  • Drivers described poor official communication and enforced stops without basic services, noting that legally tracked rest hours were consumed and cannot be recovered.
  • The DGT signaled it could reimpose limits if snowfall returns, while transport federations and supermarkets urged priority clearing for essential freight and reported no immediate shortage risk.
