Technicians from the Canillo commune, working with Mobility services, COEX, Civil Protection, and firefighters, have implemented safety measures on the Montaup road in Canillo after detecting an unstable rock posing a fall risk near Borda Patxeta.
The issue surfaced on Friday afternoon around 7pm, prompting an immediate response from specialists, including police, who assessed the site. To prevent any incidents until the rock can be removed in a controlled manner, crews placed concrete blocks as barriers to contain potential debris. One lane has been closed, with traffic now operating on an alternating basis, though authorities warn of possible full closures at times.
Efforts continued into the evening and will extend into Saturday, when teams plan to safely extract the unstable boulder. Once the area is cleared and inspected for additional hazards, normal traffic flow should resume.
No injuries or further disruptions have been reported, and the focus remains on minimising risks while restoring access as swiftly as possible.
