After an intensive technical intervention, the section of Calle 10A with Carrera 48 in the Monterrey sector was reopened to vehicular traffic, after a sinkhole caused by the sudden rise of the La Poblada ravine forced the closure of the road on January 28, affecting connectivity in one of the key points of the southeastern urban area of ​​Medellín.

The intervention was possible thanks to the coordinated work of several District agencies, including the Secretariats of Physical Infrastructure, Mobility and Environment, with support from the Official Fire Department, EPM and the Metropolitan Area of ​​the Aburrá Valley.

Throughout nearly 500 square meters, technical teams removed the affected material, demolished and reconstructed the compromised slabs, cleaned expansion joints and applied structural reinforcements before laying the final layer of pavement.

In this process, around 200 tons of asphalt mixture were used, which allowed the integrity of the road to be recovered in a record time of 10 days after the emergency.

The reopening of the road not only restores the normal mobility of those who travel through this corridor, but also benefits the residents, merchants and drivers who depend on this route for their daily trips and connections with other key sectors of the city.

During the work, the authorities also maintained a presence in the sector to regulate traffic and guide drivers, in order to minimize the impact on mobility and guarantee road safety while the works progressed.

The La Poblada stream—which runs through the southeastern area of ​​Medellín and crosses urbanized areas before flowing into the La Presidenta stream—is a tributary that has historically required constant technical attention, especially in times of rain and flash floods.
