Landslide Blocks Lane on Andorra's CG-2 Near El Tarter, Cleared Overnight with No Injuries

A landslide of mud, rocks, and snow blocked one lane of the CG-2 near El Tarter on Saturday evening, but emergency services cleared the site overnight, restoring full traffic flow by late that night with no injuries or major damage reported.

The incident took place around 8:25pm to 8:30pm in front of the Abarset venue and a Grandvalira parking area at a roundabout, where one to two cubic metres of material spilled onto the downhill lane. Firefighters from the Canillo station arrived with a truck to secure the area, inspect the upper slope, and rule out further risks. Traffic police and mobility teams handled short queues and diversions, preventing a full road closure despite brief downhill delays.

Coex crews followed up overnight with excavators, trucks, and concrete barriers to remove debris, clean the road, and stabilise the site. The firefighters' shift chief told Diari d'Andorra that normal traffic resumed late Saturday, a view confirmed by government sources. Mobility services reported no issues by Sunday morning, with full normalisation holding through Monday.

Early checks suggested a stream overflow or possible pipe issue as the cause, though firefighters continued verifying this. The case has transferred to the Ministry of Territorial Planning and Urbanism for a full probe, with the local comú and slope landowner responsible for repairs.

Officials called the event minor, stressing that all hazards were addressed promptly. Video showed the debris spread, and drivers faced calls for caution during operations. It formed part of a busy weekend for Andorran roads, including crashes on the CG-1 in Andorra la Vella injuring a 22-year-old man and 30-year-old woman, on the CG-6 in Sant Julià de Lòria hurting a 32-year-old man, and on Friday at Santa Coloma's Pont de Madrid where a 55-year-old motorcyclist was injured.
