La Maurienne writes on her Facebook page that the landslide occurred on the RD1006 highway in Saint-Andre (owner Meta is recognized as an extremist and banned in Russia). According to information from the State of Savoie, “several blocks of stone with a volume of about 700 m³ fell on a protective screen installed as a preventive measure by the road services of the district council, especially in this protected area.”

The Fréjus road tunnel is also closed to all vehicles over 3.5 tonnes in the France-Italy and Italy-France directions.
