Tropichera quickly told motorists about temporarily closing this part of the road to ensure the safety of users, but also to ensure firefighters’ maneuvers. Just before noon, the traffic axis opened.

However, users can access the Atlantic coast or the Caribbean coast by taking RN2 and RN1 referring to the tropichera.
