LZ-10 Haría road closed to heavy vehicles indefinitely

The LZ-10 road leading to Haría from Los Valles has been closed to heavy vehicles indefinitely, until works are carried out reinforcing the tight hairpin bends on the steep descent from the Mirador de Haría.

Coaches, lorries and other vehicles weighing over five tons will have to take the alternative route via Arrieta. The decision has been taken due to fears that heavy vehicles could cause landslides or subsidence after the winter rains.

The restriction is likely to remain in place for at least two years. The Cabildo’s Public Works councillor, Jacobo Medina, explained that the road reinforcement project would be ready by July, but would then require funding to be found. It is estimated that, once underway, the works will last from a year to eighteen months.
