'MP-203' is an unfinished motorway in Madrid, Spain that connects from Mejorada del Campo to San Fernando de Henares. Its construction aim is to reduce the traffic congestion in the A-2 motorway by providing alternative routes for faster route to the destination.^[1][2] The construction of this highway was started on 2005, with 70 million Euros being spent on this construction. However, on 2007, the construction of this highway has been suspended due to the issues of the Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line, connection in the R-3 motorway and also during the period of great recession in Spain. As a result, only 70% of the routes has been completed.^[3][4]
