A landslide on Monday afternoon forced the Cabildo de Tenerife to close the TF-217 road in the municipality of Santa Úrsula, affecting traffic in both directions.

The incident, reported around 4:56 PM, has resulted in the complete closure of the road as the fallen material obstructs both lanes. Heavy machinery is currently on site, working to remove the debris and ensure safe passage for drivers.
The island's council has indicated that the situation is expected to be resolved throughout the evening. In the meantime, alternative routes have been enabled to minimize traffic disruptions and facilitate mobility in the affected area.
The event occurred on the stretch between Cuesta La Villa and the vicinity of well-known restaurants, bordering the municipality of La Orotava. Local police forces and road maintenance resources from the Cabildo de Tenerife are actively involved in managing the incident.
