Temporary broken bridge | Warning

November 19th, 2022 by someunexpectedjourneys

This was previously on iOverlander, but someone deleted it so I am readding, because it is still true: Google maps and maps me will send you this way, but the bridge is still under construction and you will not be allowed to pass (signage is not very clear, workers stopped us). Follow the signs in Santa Teresa for the detour to hidroelectrica. The detour is also (at least partly) on Google maps closer to the river. It is doable, but going straight through the construction site with some very steep bits. I was happy to have 4WD, but it was night, so might look less scary during the day.

The bridge broke on the 23th February because of a landslide. They set up a little system on a rope for people to pass but no car can pass. The authorities told us it will take 1 to 3 months to build a new bridge.
The municipality told us they will try to put a temporary bridge in 7 to 10 days.
Meantime, it is still possible to leave the car in Santa Teresa, cross by this rope system and there a plenty unofficial taxi who will take you for 10 sold to Hydroélectrica.
