  "account": "Frustration over extended traffic delays has led Marbella Town Hall to request the reopening of the A-7 exit near the Elviria junction. Since September, drivers in Elviria and Las Chapas have experienced slow journeys due to the closure. The town hall plans to ask the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility to reopen the exit temporarily until planned roadworks are completed. Mayor Angeles Muñoz criticized the unilateral and unannounced closure, stating that a 2021 permit allowed the removal of some connections. The town hall's report, submitted on September 23, includes findings from a Local Police study completed on October 15. Issues identified include traffic congestion, rear-end collisions, and poor road conditions. Muñoz emphasized the need for a safer solution, proposing a 95-meter slowdown lane with a 40 km/h limit leading to a roundabout on Avenida Víbora Baja. This temporary measure aims to restore access while the southern service road and final Elviria junction changes are carried out.",
