Storm Hits Lake Garda, Disrupting Roads and Leaving Homes Uninhabitable

A fter the “Garda storm” on Friday, July 17, traffic on the SS 45 bis (Western Gardesana) near Torre San Marco will run on alternating one-way control from Monday, July 20, to Tuesday, July 21, between 5:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The measure is intended to allow safety works on trees damaged by the wind.

In Gardone Riviera, a crane collapse on the roadway led to four orders declaring buildings unfit for use, including the Church of the Nativity of Mary. In Toscolano Maderno, Bernini Park remains closed after gusts reached 122 km/h during the storm and two Lebanese cedar trees were brought down.
