Overview

  • Overnight detachment from the Croda Marcora face at Dogana Vecchia invaded the SS51 Alemagna and blocked the Venco bridge.
  • The road had only partially reopened for daytime traffic on July 9 after previous closures caused by storm-induced landslides.
  • Emergency teams are clearing mud and rock deposits while automated monitoring systems track further slope movements.
  • Traffic is rerouted from Belluno through Passo Tre Croci or via the Falzarego and Giau passes to maintain access to Cortina d’Ampezzo.
  • The latest blockage highlights ongoing geological instability in the Dolomites and the urgency of reinforced hydrogeological prevention along the SS51 corridor.
