Traffic can use the alternative route of the SP72 lakeside road although traffic is slow moving due to the sheer volume of vehicles. Vehicles coming from Varenna heading to Abbadia can only drive until the motorway section at Abbadia and then take the SP72 road. Vehicles coming from Sondrio can only drive as far as Bellano and then take the SP72 road. The ANAS along with the fire brigade are currently working to clear the rockslide and re-open the Statale 36 although timescales are not yet known. |
