According to 112 of Extremadura, the closure of the section of road between Hervás and Cabezuela del Valle directly affects the passage through the port of Honduras. The traffic disruption was noted due to the accumulation of snow on the road, a situation that led to the decision to temporarily suspend traffic between kilometer points 0 and 32 of the CC-224 highway.
According to the 112 of Extremadura, the snow on the road makes movement difficult and poses risks for drivers using this crossing in the province of Cáceres. The emergency authority said that the closure had been in force since this Wednesday and recommended that road users look for alternative routes while the restriction remained in place.
As published by 112 of Extremadura, the affected section corresponds entirely to the Port of Honduras, a communication route that connects the municipality of Hervás with Cabezuela del Valle. Incidents on this road usually occur during the coldest months, when precipitation and snow make it difficult for vehicles to pass through the mountainous region.
The Port of Honduras is a mountain pass considered a strategic point for local mobility and connection between different regions of the province of Cáceres. As reported by 112 from Extremadura, the cut will remain in place until weather conditions allow the snow to be removed and the asphalt to be completely cleaned to ensure the safety of motorists.
The media reported that road maintenance in the area continues to be vigilant to restore traffic as quickly as possible. The authorities recommend that those wishing to move in the area consult the development of the condition of the road through official channels and local media, while the restriction imposed by the 112 of Extremadura is maintained.
The situation corresponds to a new winter-related incident in the province of Cáceres, where similar incidents are recorded every season at different points of the secondary road network. According to Extremadura’s emergency number 112, technical teams are monitoring both the intensity of the rainfall and the condition of the road surface to determine the time at which the safe restoration of traffic can be guaranteed.
To date, no other incidents or people affected by the closure have been reported and Extremadura’s emergency number 112 maintains the recommendation to move only on main roads and those free of obstacles caused by the storm.
