MAJOR motorways have been submerged in Andalucia following intense storms with more rain predicted this week.
A total of 16 motorways are shut today due to flooding, Storm Laurence has forced the closure of six in Cadiz, four in Sevilla, two in Cordoba, one in Malaga and one in Granada.
Footage uploaded by traffic authorities showed Sevilla’s AP-4 covered in water, with access cut in both directions from Dos Hermanas and Las Cabezas de San Juan.
The motorway has since reopened in the Sevilla direction but remains closed towards Cadiz.
Almost 40 B roads are also shut as a result of the flooding, including six in Sevilla, one in Almeria, seven in Cadiz, two in Cordoba and one in Malaga.
The A-397 between Ronda and Marbella remains affected by a landslide last week, with disruptions on the A-355, A-357 and A-367 as well as the A-369 and the A-377 between Ronda and Manilva.
A brief respite today will be followed by further downpours in Sevilla and Cadiz, with 90-100% rain forecast for the rest of this week.
In Malaga and Granada, Wednesday and Thursday will be relatively dry, followed by a wet weekend.
