Rockslide Shuts N-232 in North Burgos, Damaging Roadway and Blocking Both Directions

Traffic authorities are routing drivers to lengthy detours due to ongoing storm-related river risks across Castilla y León.

Overview

  • A large overnight rockfall between km 533.1 and 539.2, between Valdenoceda and Incinillas in the Los Hocinos gorge, has made the stretch impassable.
  • The collapse tore up the pavement and a containment wall, with no injuries reported.
  • The DGT has closed the section in both directions and published alternate routes via Trespaderne, Medina de Pomar, Villarcayo and Oña.
  • Authorities are assessing the damage and have not provided an estimate for reopening.
  • The disruption comes after weeks of severe weather that has triggered river alerts, including orange on the Tera with partial overflow, a red warning on the Huebra, and alerts on the Bernesga.
