Bad weather in Calabria, road collapses in the Crotone area, traffic disruption

Traffic disruptions in the Crotone area due to the bad weather that hit the hinterland during the night.

Due to heavy rain, a structural failure was recorded on the Sp30 which connects the town of Belvedere Spinello to State Road 107: a vast chasm opened on the side of the roadway, causing its collapse. At the time of the collapse, no vehicle was in transit and there were no records of anyone involved.

The Carabinieri, the firefighters of the Crotone command and the civil protection teams of Belvedere Spinello intervened on site. The Province of Crotone has ordered the total closure of the road to traffic. The municipality of Belvedere Spinello can be reached via provincial road 29 which, however, presents various problems due to the presence of potholes and debris. The situation in the downstream part in the industrial area of ​​Polligrone and Barretta is critical. The area is flooded and invaded by mud. The water and debris have submerged agricultural greenhouses and the yards of company facilities, predicting extensive damage to local production activities.

Mayor Antonio Amato activated the Coc, a meeting scheduled for the afternoon in the Prefecture.
