A coastal road on Lake Garda has been blocked after a massive rock fall. On Saturday night, several huge boulders fell on the road between Riva del Garda and Limone. Luckily no one was there at the time.
Only a few cars parked on the side of the road were hit and damaged by rocks. As a precaution, an adjacent home was evacuated.
Civil protection carried out a local inspection by helicopter on Saturday. The road was then temporarily closed. It is still unclear how long it will remain closed. Work on the road will start on Monday. A specialized company was commissioned to blast the rocks and clear the slope and roadway.
Landslides are not uncommon in the area
