The Traffic Service has reported that from 07:00 to 17:00, specific restrictions apply to truck traffic at this point on the highway.
Yesterday there was chaos at the Biriatou border as a result of protests by farmers in the North, which led the French authorities to cut off lorries of more than 7.5 tonnes, resulting in holds of up to 13 kilometres in the AP-8, which reached Oiartzun and Errenteria, and extended to other routes such as the N-121-A or the GI-20.
After yesterday's collapse, the border reopened around 8:00 and has been open at night.
