The route is currently under construction with most sections now open to traffic.The A-22 runs mainly in parallel to the existing N-240 road except for certain specific stretches such as the Monzón bypass which opened in 2008, and the Barbastro bypass where alternative routes have been employed. The construction has been divided into the following sectors, Huesca-Siétamo, Siétamo-Velillas, Velillas-Ponzano, Ponzano-El Pueyo, Barbastro Bypass, Monzón Bypass, Binéfar Bypass, Binéfar Bypass-Aragón/Catalonia border, Aragón/Catalonia border-Almacelles Bypass, Almacelles Bypass-La Cerdera, La Cerdera-Junction with A-2 Motorway at the edge of Lleida [1].By the summer of 2010 more than half of the A-22 was operational as a four-lane highway comprising 6 of the above sectors. However, in July 2010 a cessation of work due to governmental financial difficulties was announced, despite the Binefar Bypass section being 80% complete. This decision provoked much controversy with local government officials calling for the work to be resumed, citing the dangers associated with the current unfinished road layout [2]. Fortunately work was restarted and by October 2011 all but two sectors were fully open. The two remaining sectors to be completed are the Almacelles Bypass (up to the Catalonia / Aragon border), which is at an advanced stage of construction and expected to open in early 2012 and the Huesca - Sietamo sector which is not currently under construction. Once the 9.8km Almacelles Bypass sector is completed the A-22 will run for an uninterrupted length of around 99km but the schedule for completing the last 13km to Huesca is unclear.
