Switzerland – the A13 reopened

The section of the A13 motorway between Lostallo and Mesocco, which was closed following heavy storms and heavy rain in June, was reopened on Tuesday, September 3.

The renovation work, which began on June 24, has been largely completed, making it possible to reopen two lanes in each direction of traffic from Tuesday, September 3.

Extensive work has been carried out in recent weeks, including the removal of debris from landslides, the reinforcement of the motorway embankment next to the river with rock fill and the construction of a protective wall along the carriageway. In addition, the Moesa and Orbel streambeds have been cleared of debris to restore the natural course of the river.

Further cleaning work will take place in the coming weeks, but this will no longer affect traffic.
