In full festive bridge of International Labor Day (May 1), the sector of the Devil’s Nose, on the Bogotá – Girardot road, had to be closed preventively and permanently due to stabilization problems in banking.
(See: Devil’s Nose, on via Bogotá – Girardot, permanently closed).
“This is a measure that is taken after an evaluation by the geotechnical team that had been accompanying the bench stabilization work in the area and identified a settlement in the pavement that represents a high risk of bench loss.“, reported the Vía 40 Express concession.
The firm reiterated that the closure will be permanent “until the necessary studies are carried out, since our main objective is to guarantee the safety conditions“.
In order not to affect mobility on the road and to maintain movement in both directions, alternate passage through the Sumapaz tunnel was enabled.
(See: This is the first 100% gas-powered intermunicipal bus in the country).
Since it is not certain how long the road will be closed, which could cause a collapse and traffic jam on the road, the alternate route to travel from Bogotá to Girardot or from Girardot to Bogotá is is Girardot – La Mesa – Bogotá or Bogo’ta – La Mesa – Girardot.
