N-340 road (Spain)

The N-340 is a major highway in Spain. It is over 1,000 km long starting south of Barcelona and running predominantly along the coast to Chiclana de la Frontera and the N-IV to Cádiz. In many places the road has now been by-passed by the Autovía A-7 and Autopista AP-7.

Major Incidents
In the Los Alfaques disaster of 11 July 1978, a road tanker carrying liquefied propylene ruptured and exploded on the N-340 near a holiday campsite in Alcanar. The explosion and ensuing fires resulted in the deaths of 215 people, in addition to over 300 victims of burns and other injuries. On 29 August 2001 Binter Mediterráneo Flight 8261 (Registration EC-FBC) crash-landed adjacent to the N-340 near Ruiz Picasso International Airport at Málaga, Spain. Of 44 people aboard, four were killed. The aircraft was scrapped. == Autovía A-36 ==
Autovía A-36
The Autovía A-36 is an upgrade of the N-340 which provides a more direct (and toll free) route between Alicante and Valencia than the Autopista AP-7 which runs along the coast. It is scheduled to become the Autovía A-7. ==See also==
