The Cabildo de Lanzarote has signed the emergency declaration for the "imminent execution" of the repair works on the LZ-703 that connects Las Breñas with El Golfo, specifically known as the Los Hervideros highway in the area. The work to repair the road is expected to cost upwards of a million euros.
After several landslides that took place on February 15th, which caused a huge sinkhole by the side of the road, the Cabildo decided to close the road to avoid possible accidents. "It should be noted that this section of road, which runs through the Los Volcanes Natural Park, borders the sea and constitutes one of the most visited tourist attractions in Lanzarote," the Corporation said in a press statement.
