Abel Losada chairs the meeting in which the accesses to the IFEVI are coordinated during the Conxemar fair

The subdelegate of the Government in Pontevedra, Abel Losada, presided this morning at a meeting in which traffic devices for access to the Instituto Ferial de Vigo (IFEVI) were coordinated during the Conxemar fair, which will be held on October 1, 2 and 3. The meeting, which took place at the headquarters of the General Treasury of Social Security of Vigo, was attended by all the agents involved in the event, such as the management of the IFEVI and the fair itself, the Traffic subsector of the Civil Guard, the General Traffic Directorate (DGT), Audasa, the Ministry of Transport, AENA and the Local Police of Vigo.
At the meeting it was agreed to repeat last year’s operation as it was successful and demonstrated its functionality by avoiding the major collapses that occurred in previous editions in the first days of exhibitions. Thus, the closure of the access 157 to the AP-9 from the Avenida del Tranvía and the conversion of this street in a single direction make up the axis of the traffic plan.
However, it was decided to take up the suggestions of the Traffic Headquarters and extend the hours of the partial closure and change of direction of the aforementioned avenue with respect to the edition of 2023, extending this measure from 07.30 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the three holidays. On the other hand, the exit 157 of the AP-9 will be closed to transports that exceed 3,500 kilos, so they must use alternative routes.
In addition, Audasa will open the branch that connects the exit of the AP-9 with the Peinador car park, but this parking area will be of exclusive use for people who have the proper accreditation issued by Conxemar.
Another of the novelties of this edition is that parking will be free at the Peinador airport during the three days that the fair lasts and not only during the first two, as was the case in previous years. In addition, access to the fairgrounds will also be speeded up by reading QR codes through the laser gun system that will replace physical identification, and it is hoped that this measure will also contribute to the speeding up of access to the fairgrounds.
Finally, all the parties participating in the meeting took part in a new meeting that will take place in September to fine-tune and detail the operation in the days prior to the celebration of Conxemar.
