Overview
- The Integrated Cristo Redentor system remains shut after an overnight preventive closure triggered by severe weather forecasts in high mountain areas.
- Coordinators from Argentina and Chile plan a 2 p.m. meeting to assess reopening, with instability on the Chilean side expected to last into the evening.
- The shutdown applied in both directions to all vehicle types, with traffic halted at 10 p.m. in Uspallata and Guardia Vieja and the crossing fully closed from midnight.
- An initial target to reopen at 7 a.m. was contingent on safety conditions and was not carried out due to continued weather risks.
- Authorities urge travelers to check official channels—including Argentina’s Interior Ministry site and the Paso a Paso app—for real-time status, noting pre-closure crashes on Route 7, one of them fatal.
