Rockfall on TF-121 Causes Traffic Restrictions in Anaga Massif
A rockfall on the TF-121 in Tenerife’s Anaga massif has forced authorities to restrict traffic near Igueste de San Andrés while maintenance crews clear the debris.
The rugged landscape of the Anaga massif is causing travel disruptions once again after a rockfall on the TF-121 this Thursday. The incident has forced officials to restrict traffic near Igueste de San Andrés. According to emergency services, one lane at the exit of the town has been closed as a safety precaution to protect drivers.
Local police from Santa Cruz de Tenerife are currently on-site, managing traffic and ensuring vehicles can pass safely. Meanwhile, the Cabildo de Tenerife has dispatched road maintenance crews to clear the debris and inspect the stability of the hillside.
This incident highlights the ongoing challenges of maintaining roads in areas with steep, complex terrain, where erosion and weather frequently impact travel. Because of the region's difficult geology, constant monitoring is required to prevent accidents. As crews work to clear the road, authorities are urging drivers to pay close attention to temporary signs and follow the directions of officers on the scene to navigate the narrowed section safely.
