Access Sur Reopens After Sinkhole Fix With Final Paving Pending

Officials describe a four-day sewer repair using a 500 mm steel sleeve designed to allow future fixes without tearing up the road.

Overview

  • Traffic is provisionally open in both directions and on the frontage roads along RN 40 at Carrodilla, with authorities urging caution as final works continue.
  • Municipal crews plan to pave the intervened sections on Acceso Sur and Carrodilla this weekend to complete the roadway restoration.
  • The rupture originated in a 400 mm sewer main, and the solution involves installing a 500 mm steel pipe that acts as a protective tunnel for the line.
  • More than 100 workers operated in rotating shifts from Monday to stabilize the area and replace the damaged infrastructure.
  • Earlier bypasses through the median and laterals that caused heavy congestion are being lifted as normal flow resumes.
