Work continues to repair and reopen the main road which connects Ronda with the Costa Del Sol. The A-397 was completely blocked and the bridge at Los Madronos was damaged by a landslide on the 8th March after severe storms hit the area. The Junta de Andalucía’s regional ministry of public works confirmed in a statement today that a team of 20 specialists are working on the road seven days a week.

The twenty strong team and specialist equipment which includes a 200 tonne crane are working at heights of 100 metres to clear the boulders and debris before repairs can begin. A budget of €3.5 million euros has been allocated for repairs, which are expected to be finished in August. Defenses are also being constructed to help protect the road from landslides in the future.
