Traffic chaos erupted in Madrid after a burst water pipe created a powerful geyser, flooding the M-14 tunnel that leads to Terminal 4 of Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport. The sudden flooding forced authorities to close the tunnel immediately, affecting both road traffic and Madrid Metro Line 8.

Multiple units of the Madrid Fire Department have been deployed since early morning to drain the flooded tunnel and restore normal movement. Firefighters worked under challenging conditions to remove the water and prevent further disruption.

The incident caused severe delays for commuters and airport travelers, forcing many to seek alternative routes. Officials have urged drivers and passengers to stay updated on traffic advisories until the situation is fully resolved.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the burst pipe to prevent similar incidents in the future. Maintenance teams are also assessing the structural integrity of the tunnel after it was submerged in water.

Despite the disruption, emergency response teams have ensured that no casualties have been reported so far. Work continues to resume full operations on both road and metro lines.

This event highlights the critical importance of urban infrastructure maintenance and rapid emergency response to minimize disruptions in major cities like Madrid.
