The stone block that broke away from the ridge above the state road was held by protective nets, thus preventing it from falling onto the roadway.

"The work will be carried out with extremely urgent procedures. The intervention, contrary to first impressions, could prove to be significant, which, if confirmed by the surveys, will inevitably affect the reopening times of the road. We are committed, each for our own roles and responsibilities, to securing the area and reopening the road to traffic as soon as possible."
