The Las Pedrizas toll highway AP-46 is intended to solve the saturated traffic situation on the main northern access to Malaga. The project has made a significant step forward further to the Ministry of development's decision to aprove 99% of the alignment presented by the concessionaire appointed for the construction and operation of the écheme. The concessionaire includes Itinere (70%), Sacyr (10%), respectively the infrastructure concession company and the construction firm of Sacyr Vallehermoso, and GEA 21 (20%). The approval allowed to commence the land expropriation process. The alignment and final project will be known in January and February. It is hoped that the land expropriation phase will then be ended and that the first machinery will start working. The concession will last 36 years and may be extended another four years.
