Overview
- The slide at kilometer 97, reported Thursday morning, buried the road with large rocks and soil and stopped vehicles in both directions.
- Road police ordered a preventive closure because fresh rockfall continued and the stretch remained unsafe for drivers.
- The blockage sits in the Infiernillo sector of San Mateo de Huanchor in Huarochirí province in the Lima region.
- Deviandes, the private operator for this corridor, was expected to send heavy machinery to clear debris and check the hillside for stability.
- Authorities urged drivers to take alternate routes as dozens of transport workers waited roadside on a key link that connects Lima with La Oroya, Huancayo, and the central highlands where slides recur in the rainy season.
