27 June 2019 – Up to two meters (almost 7 ft) of snow on the descent of the Rahue. Authorities ask motorists not to drive at night.
The intense cold and the heavy snow precipitation in the cordilleran zone, center and north of the province have made some roads impassable.
The Secretary General of Government, Leonel Dacharry, stressed that motorists “do not circulate for the duration of the snow period, between 8:00 pm and 8:00 am.”
Dacharry explained that “at this moment in the Rahue, we have two meters of snow, which makes the work on the road difficult.
Meanwhile, “the section Pino Hachado with Litrán is impassable because there is a large accumulation of snow that runs between one meter”.
A similar situation occurs on provincial route 26, the entrance to Caviahue through Hualcupén or Cajón Chico.
