Costa del Sol Road Improvements 2025: What to Know

The Costa del Sol is undergoing a major infrastructure road improvement in 2025. Key road improvement projects are being developed across the region — from Málaga Airport to Marbella and Estepona — aimed at reducing congestion, improving travel times, and boosting the area's long-term livability and investment appeal.
For property buyers, these upgrades are more than convenience — they’re a strategic opportunity.

One of the most impactful road improvements involves access to Málaga-Costa del Sol International Airport (AGP), which is essential for international homeowners, investors, and visitors.
Wider and smoother sections of the A-7 and AP-7 motorways, particularly near Fuengirola, Marbella, and Estepona
New entry and exit ramps to MA-21, offering direct, faster access to airport terminals
Proposed express shuttle services and private transport lanes for faster airport connections
👉 Travel time from Marbella to Málaga Airport is now under 30 minutes, and from Estepona around 45 minutes, even during peak hours.

Marbella continues to lead the Costa del Sol in both lifestyle and infrastructure. In 2025, multiple road improvements are either completed or nearing completion:
- San Pedro Tunnel renovation, enhancing traffic safety and flow to Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús
- AI-powered traffic lights along Ricardo Soriano, automatically adjusting to real-time congestion
- New bike lanes and eco-friendly mobility zones in Nagüeles, Golden Mile, and near La Bajadilla port
These changes benefit both residents and high-end rental investors, particularly in areas like Sierra Blanca, Los Monteros, and La Zagaleta.

Estepona, one of the most dynamic property markets in Southern Europe, is seeing transformational changes in its road and urban infrastructure:
The newly completed Northern Bypass (Variante Norte) links the A-7 directly to neighborhoods like Las Mesas, Valle Romano, and Estepona Golf
Avenida Andalucía has been expanded and landscaped with bike lanes, pedestrian crossings, and modern lighting

Ongoing extension of the Senda Litoral, a scenic coastal path connecting Estepona’s beachfront communities by foot or bike
How These Improvements Impact Real Estate Value
The 2025 Costa del Sol road improvements are already generating momentum in the property market, especially in prime residential zones.

✅ Faster airport connections attract international clients
✅ Improved access to luxury developments raises buyer demand
✅ Higher property values in well-connected areas
✅ Increased appeal for rental income and resale opportunities

“These infrastructure upgrades directly enhance the livability, accessibility, and long-term value of properties along the Costa del Sol,” — Andalusian Infrastructure Agency

If you’re looking to invest or relocate, here are some of the best-connected and most promising locations:
- Marbella’s Golden Mile & Puerto Banús
- Estepona’s New Golden Mile & West Estepona
- Benamara, El Paraíso, Costalita, Los Flamingos
These zones now offer luxury living combined with efficient mobility, making them ideal for long-term investment or seasonal use.

With construction timelines advancing and many of the main roadworks scheduled for completion before the end of 2025, this is a strategic moment to enter the Costa del Sol property market. As infrastructure improves, buyer demand is increasing—especially from international investors seeking well-connected holiday homes and relocation opportunities. Improved mobility, modern amenities, and the growing reputation of areas like Marbella and Estepona as high-quality lifestyle destinations are combining to create a rare window of opportunity for early investment at strong long-term value.
