Acceso Sur Reopens With Lane Limits as Crews Finish Paving After Sewer-Line Collapse

Final paving follows a four-day sewer-line repair that restored provisional traffic in both directions.

Overview

  • Authorities reported peak-hour delays of up to 40 minutes on Friday as asphalt layers and road markings were applied between Rawson and Paso in Carrodilla.
  • One carriageway in the north–south direction reopened on Friday, with the opposite side expected to be completed by late Friday or the early hours of Saturday for full normal circulation.
  • The collapse was caused by a corroded 1970s 400 mm sewer collector, and the fix includes a 500 mm steel casing, PEAD conduits and soil‑cement backfill to improve long‑term stability.
  • Traffic was maintained through staged bypasses using contraflow via the median and detours along the east lateral, while suggested alternate routes also experienced congestion.
  • More than 100 workers operated around the clock with multi‑agency support, and the municipality estimates the works at roughly 200 million pesos.
