Soller in permanent gridlock: Why the bypass isn't progressing

Answer

Why hasn’t the Sóller bypass project moved forward?

The main problem appears to be coordination rather than a lack of plans. Different bodies, including the island council, the traffic authority and the local council, still need to align on signatures, approvals and responsibilities. When that exchange is slow, even well-prepared projects can remain stuck for months.
