The Móstoles Sur Consortium has greenlit the construction of a new access road connecting the PAU-4 neighborhood to the R-5 highway, a project valued at 17.4 million euros.

The Móstoles City Council and the Community of Madrid, through the Móstoles Sur Consortium, have authorized the construction of an access road that will link the PAU-4 neighborhood with the R-5 highway. The decision, made last Friday, includes project approval and the initiation of the works' contracting procedure.
This infrastructure addresses a long-standing demand from residents and is considered crucial for improving mobility within the municipality. The project has a base tender budget of 17,415,914 euros and is designed to reduce congestion on key access routes such as the M-506, A-5, and M-50.
The mayor of Móstoles, Manuel Bautista, highlighted the significance of this advancement for the city and the southwestern Madrid region, calling it "a decisive step towards realizing a strategic and priority infrastructure that the residents of Móstoles have been waiting for years." Bautista linked the project to a substantial improvement in municipal access and a reduction in daily commute times for thousands of citizens.
The approval comes after efforts by the City Council with the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, including a recent letter from the mayor to Minister Óscar Puente requesting an urgent meeting to unblock the initiative.
Once completed, the new connection will significantly enhance access to PAU-4, contributing to a higher quality of life for residents by reducing travel times and traffic at the city's entrances, making it fundamental for the municipality's urban development and future mobility.
