Has the construction of new freeway finished?

Thanks for any update
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Has the construction of new freeway finished?

Yes, it's finished and in service.

I'm sorry I can't provide you more info. Let's hope you get an answer from someone with recent on the ground info about that strecht of the Camino del Norte.

I walked that stretch after the new freeway had already been opened and I have to say it was a huge relief. I believe 80% of the traffic from N-634 was gone including all big trucks (and I remember very well what it looked like before). I went along the (quiet now) road again because I wanted to stay at the camping La Franca (they have some old bungalows for pilgrims to share), so I can't say if the original Camino has been restored by now.
There is more updated info at the blog of the pilgrim who walked there recently:
