This Sunday noon, the president of the department, Charles Ange-Ginésy, indicated that the circulation could be restored thanks to "the rehabilitation of the fords of Ambo and Caïros".
For two days, the inhabitants of Tende or Saorge could no longer descend and people wishing to go to the upper valley, were blocked in Breil-sur-Roya.
Outdoor activities not recommended
He also specifies that "the movement in convoys between Fontan and Saint-Dalmas-de-Tende was able to resume" while welcoming "the rapid and effective intervention of the agents of the road management".
The Haut-Var, Haut-Verdon and Mercantour massifs remain on “avalanche” vigilance with a high risk (4/5) this Sunday.
The prefecture strongly advises against "practicing activities in these massifs".
