Cardenal Samoré International Pass will be closed until Monday inclusive

The Cardenal Samoré international pbad will continue until Monday after an avalanche of land and stones occurred Thursday on the Chilean side.

Instead, the trans-Andean country's road staff are doing the work necessary to clear the track at kilometer 141 of the Ch-215 road where 30 to 40 centimeters of snow, pebbles and mud have been removed.

Cleaning tasks will continue, weather permitting, at least until Monday. Before the final qualification, said Telam, several tests will have to be made with heavy trucks to ensure optimal conditions of pbadage.

Instead of crossing the border, the Pino Hachado pbadport is available on the national road 242, from 9am to 8pm for all types of vehicles.

On Thursday, around noon, an avalanche of land buried part of the international road Ch-215 (coming from Chile) and caused traffic congestion and the inability of vehicular traffic in the Cardenal Samoré international pbad in Neuquén, reported the National Gendarmerie through a statement.

The press added that "Force personnel are carrying out road safety work in the region and that customs controls on the Argentine side have been temporarily suspended".

The gendarmerie, in coordination with the border staff of the Republic of Chile, proceeded to the temporary closure of the aforementioned march because "at 10 kilometers from the center of the borders on the international road Ch-215 (Republic of Chile) had been the 39, collapse of a mountain wall resulting from an avalanche that resulted in a mbad of logs and stones ".
