The Huaral al Instante portal reported that in the Serpentín del Pasamayo there was a landslide on one of the hills located on the side of the road, which caused great traffic congestion, mainly buses and trucks. The concession company Norvial explained that the road is restricted around Km. 08+300 and Km. 18+300.
Furthermore, at another point in Lima, specifically on La Esperanza Avenue, located near the Barbadillo prison, in Ate, large rocks fell in the middle of the track, which paralyzed vehicle traffic. The Police and security officials restricted vehicular circulation on said road as a precaution. Workers used heavy machinery to remove the stones.
A similar situation was seen in the variant that connects the towns of Yangas and Canta.
