Starting this Friday, it will be possible to circulate on the road that connects the GM-1 with the GM-2, with a speed limit of 40 kilometers per hour and a traffic ban in case of rain.
The island Institution maintains active rehabilitation work on the slopes affected after the passage of Storm Therese
The Cabildo of La Gomera reports the reopening to traffic of the El Rejo highway, the CV-14, which connects the GM-1 with the GM-2, starting this Friday. Traffic on this road will be allowed with specific preventive measures, with the aim of guaranteeing the safety of drivers while the rehabilitation and stabilization work on the slopes affected by the landslides recorded after the passage of Storm Therese continues.
The established measures include limiting the maximum speed to 40 kilometers per hour, as well as prohibiting driving on the road during rainy spells. Likewise, signage will be reinforced at both accesses to the road, warning of the presence of works, the risk of landslides and the restrictions applicable during adverse weather situations.
The insular Institution recalls that these actions are carried out within the framework of the emergency works launched to restore the stability and safety conditions of the road, after the adverse meteorological phenomena associated with Storm Therese caused landslides and damage at different points of the road.
During the execution of the work, there may be occasional lane cuts in the sections where sanitation, cleaning or material loading work is being carried out. In these cases, traffic will be regulated by means of signallers, traffic lights or the control systems that are necessary, in addition to protection measures such as separation barriers in areas where there is a risk to traffic.
The Cabildo requests users to exercise extreme caution, respect the provisional signage at all times and heed the instructions of the construction staff. The reopening of the road will make the progress of the work compatible with the recovery of connectivity along this road, considered strategic for communication between the northern area and the rest of the island.
