Early this morning in Caracas on the Guarenas highway, a landslide occurred blocking the road causing it to be closed. Residents of the area faced long delays as workers began to clear the debris and fallen rock. Caracas, Venezuela. 17/01/2011

Residentes de Guarenas y Guatire no acertaron en el refrán que indica que “al que madruga, Dios lo ayuda”. Contrarios a esta premisa, desde las 4:00 am de ayer conductores y pasajeros fueron sorprendidos por el desprendimiento de material rocoso y vegetal hasta la autopista Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho, que comunica a Caracas con ambas ciudades de Miranda.

Por más de seis horas se extendieron los trabajos de recolección de sedimentos que afectaron a los dos sentidos de la arteria vial.

Quince camiones de volteo, un jumbo y tres paylover integraron los esfuerzos del Ministerio de Transporte y Comunicaciones (MTC), la Gobernación de Miranda y la Alcaldía de Plaza para solventar la situación de derrumbe.
