A huge rock of more that one ton falls in the RN 205

This new incident on the descendant axis of RN 205 - Route, remember, used by thousands of trucks from Italy by the Mont Blanc and tourists taking this route to travel to resorts - it falls not worse in this holiday season! At 20 h 45, a section of cliff broke away from the wall of the mountain Egratz and ran toward the road. The biggest part was halted by the safety nets. A large block of one cubic meter has still reached the floor. Fortunately no motorist was not in the path of the landslide. The descent of Egratz was then completely closed to traffic and a detour was set up only for cars, trough Servoz and then to Passy. Today the work to repair the road will proceed and it is now the enterprise Accro Branche de Sallanches who will do it. "They assume that they will complete the work for 19 hours Thursday evening. And then the Road of Egratz can then be open to traffic". Le Dauphiné
