A significant landslide has struck the municipality of Gargnano, located along the Brescia shore of Lake Garda. The incident occurred near kilometer 13 of the Provincial Road 9, resulting in the detachment of a portion of the roadway. In light of this critical situation, the Province of Brescia has announced the closure of SP9 between kilometers 9+500 and 19+000.
The landslide, which affected a wide area, necessitated the immediate intervention of local authorities to ensure the safety of road users. Images released clearly show the damage caused by the collapse, highlighting the magnitude of this natural event.
Ongoing Inspection
In the afternoon, an inspection by expert rock climbers is scheduled to carefully assess the conditions of the slope impacted by the landslide. This intervention is crucial for evaluating potential risks and planning the necessary operations for restoring traffic. However, the operations may prove complex due to the geological characteristics of the area.
Impacts on Local Traffic
The closure of SP9 inevitably causes disruptions for motorists and residents in the surrounding areas. The Province is actively working to provide updates on the situation and the progress of restoration efforts. In the meantime, users are advised to pay attention to road signs and to follow any alternative routes suggested by the relevant authorities.
