Atletico Madrid In time for Saturday's match

Atletico Madrid supporters travelling to the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano by car should find it far easier to reach the club's new stadium this weekend, given that the access roads are now completed and ready for use.

The first stage of the road openings will be in place in time for this Saturday's match between Los Rojiblancos and Alaves, with a new one-kilometre-long lane added to the M-40 motorway and with a new exit put in on that same stretch of road.

Vehicles turning off at this exit will be brought straight to the Avenida Luis Aragones, which leads to the stadium.

It should be noted that this motorway exit is not yet permanently opened, and that it will only be opened this Saturday as a trial.

There are further developments to the area's roads still to come, but the completion of the first stage of the project should ease congestion in the area, which will please Atleti fans and locals alike.
