Varenna (Lecco) 19 May 2023 – Alto Lario divided in half. With the Sp 72 interrupted due to the landslide that broke through the roof of the Fiumelatte tunnel in Varenna, the only viable alternative remains the Statale 36. In fact, the Lecco–Sondrio train line was also interrupted, because the landslide also overwhelmed the railway tunnel further up the provincial road. For those who need to reach the southernmost part of Varenna, the junction of the state road of Lake Como and Spluga to take is the Varenna– Lierna – Mandello del Lario – Abbadia exit. For the part north of Varenna, however, the junction to take is that of Varenna–Bellano.
In case of problems or blockages that also involve the state road 36, all that remains is to lengthen the tour a lot by passing through Valsassina.
With regard to the Trenord railway line communicates that “the movement of trains between Lierna and Bellano is suspended until further notice”. Trenord has set up a train and bus circulation plan to allow travel between Milan and the territories of Upper Lake Como and Valtellina.
