Ma-15 closed at Sant Llorenç: Who bears the time loss — and is the protection adequate?

Answer

Is the Ma-15 work in Mallorca really worth the disruption?

The disruption is inconvenient, but the project is intended to reduce flooding risk in Mallorca by increasing the stream’s capacity. That is a practical need, especially when heavy storms hit late summer and early autumn. The main concern is whether the traffic burden in Sant Llorenç has been managed well enough.
