The cold front that has affected the mountain region of Río Negro since this Friday complicated traffic on National Route 40, especially in the section that connects Bariloche and El Bolsón. National Roads issued a statement requesting “extreme caution” from motorists traveling on this route, due to the rains and snowfalls that generated low grip and a significant accumulation of snow on the road.
Conditions are particularly difficult in the highest areas of the route, such as the Pampa del Toro, where heavy snowfall has been recorded. The agency warned about the low grip of the road and the presence of snow, and deployed road teams to work in the area and improve traffic conditions.
The section of Route 40 between Bariloche and El Bolsón is under a yellow alert for snowfall, which implies moderate to high risks for road safety. The Road Warning applies so that drivers are prepared for dangerous driving conditions.
In addition, they recommend taking all necessary precautions, including the use of tire chains and reducing speed.
From National Highway They reiterated the importance of respecting traffic signs and the instructions of road personnel working in the area..
