These works, managed by the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, Architecture and Housing, will necessitate the complete closure of this road section for 15 working days, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. During these hours, traffic will be diverted via the GC-1 as an alternative route.

The closure points will be located at the 'whale tail' roundabout in Arguineguín and the 'spiral' roundabout in Patalavaca. The department, in coordination with the Cabildo, has adjusted the daily closure time to 4:00 PM to facilitate the departure of hospitality workers in the area. Additionally, controlled access will be permitted for residents of the upper-area homes and guests of the Sunwing and Servatur Green Beach hotels.

The initial tasks will involve clearing the affected hillsides by controlled demolition of large rocks at risk of falling during heavy rainfall. Specialized workers will rappel down the slopes to remove these stones. Subsequently, the hillsides will be covered with a layer of shotcrete to enhance their stability.

These operations are part of lot 8 of the emergency works prompted by storm Therese, for which the Cabildo has allocated 460,000 euros. This lot also includes slope stabilization on two other southern island roads: Fataga (GC-60) and Los Cuchillos (GC-65). The company Ring Canarias SL has been awarded these contracts.

The heavy rains from storm Therese compelled the Public Works Department to process emergency works almost immediately on about twenty roads affected by landslides, erosion, or unstable slopes. These interventions were grouped into 18 contract lots, awarded to 18 companies, most of which have already begun the assigned tasks. The overall estimated cost for repairs due to storm Therese amounts to 13,390,000 euros, though this valuation may change depending on the progress of the works.
