How can I find out about road closures or construction on Mallorca's main routes?

When driving through Mallorca, especially along busy roads like the Ma-13 highway between Palma and Alcudia or the coastal Ma-19 to Cala D'Or, it’s wise to check for roadworks or closures in advance. The island’s transport authority maintains websites and social media channels that regularly update on road conditions affecting key routes, including any maintenance in the Serra de Tramuntana or near the Soller railway line. Popular navigation apps, such as Google Maps and Waze, are invaluable for real-time traffic updates and user-reported incidents, helping you avoid unexpected delays on your way to places like Pollenca or the beaches of Es Trenc and Cala Mondrago.

Besides digital tools, local radio stations often broadcast traffic news during peak hours. Stations based in Palma may announce updates relevant to major arteries like the Ma-10 through Valldemossa or the Ma-12 heading towards Manacor, where construction can occasionally slow travel. If you’re planning a journey during festival times, like Sant Sebastià in Palma or Festa de l'Ametler in Soller, it pays to verify road status ahead, as event-related closures are common. Combining official sources, live mapping apps, and local traffic broadcasts will ensure your trip around the island’s diverse landscapes and charming towns goes as smoothly as possible.
