Sewage Spill Shuts Route 11 at Pinamar Entrance as One Lane Reopens During Cleanup

Local officials ordered CALP to restore the site within 24 hours under municipal oversight.

Overview

  • A ruptured sewage pipe sent effluents across Route 11 at km 393.5 near Pinamar’s main rotunda, prompting a total traffic cutoff between km 393 and 396.
  • By around midday, crews opened a single lane toward Cariló, Ostende and Valeria del Mar while washing and earthmoving continued on the remaining stretch.
  • The Municipality of Pinamar assigned operational responsibility to the Cooperativa de Agua y Luz de Pinamar (CALP) and directed the redirection of effluents to more distant lagoons.
  • Aubasa, provincial road authorities, police and firefighters managed detours and on‑site cleanup with no injuries reported.
  • Ecological Police inspected a nearby hypermarket after staff reported water reached the premises, a claim on‑site officials disputed.
