The transformation documented here illustrates the evolving approach to metropolitan road network management. The closure and redesign of this section represents a notable shift in how traffic flow is directed through the area, with the addition of circular intersections altering the previous direct-access route.

This type of infrastructural change typically responds to multiple factors including traffic volume patterns, airport access requirements, and toll road economics. The visual record captures a specific moment in the ongoing adaptation of Madrid's peripheral highway system.

If someone decided to continue using that route (you can clearly see a dirt path...), could they avoid the toll or the long detour to reach T-4?

I was one of the last people to drive through the M-110 while working on the T4 construction. It's remarkable how they engineer a new access route that's both longer and tolled. They had to work to break what functioned well, only to later (as we see) undo the mess. In essence, we're governed by people who make one mistake after another, spending our money, and nobody seems to care about doing and undoing things without ever having a clear goal or objective. It exposes how this is the legal way to steal.
