Bonao, Dominican Republic. – Traffic on the road to the mountain town of Constanza was halted Friday morning at the 7 kilometer marker, as flooding from several days of downpours in the zone unleashed mudslides, diariolibre.com reports.

Work crews and technicians from the contractor Odebrecht and the Public Works Ministry were sent to the zone to remove the mudslide’s debris, reported at the area known as El Abanico, and reopen the road.

Traffic was detoured through the road from Jarabacoa to Constanza, whose municipal authorities warned motorists that use the route to drive with caution to prevent accidents.
