An overflight was carried out to review the conditions of the projected Timbío – El Estanquillo bypass, which is requested to be carried out as a public work.

Within the framework of the Council of Ministers, held in Ipiales, Nariño, other meetings were held on January 21 and 22 with the purpose of seeking solutions to address the emergency facing southern Cauca and the department of Nariño, as a consequence of the Serious landslides in villages in the municipality of Rosas, Cauca, where the mountains slid like meringues.

To that end, the Minister of Transportation, Guillermo Reyes; the High Councilor for the Regions, Luis Fernando Velasco; the governors of Cauca Elías Larrahondo Carabalí and Nariño, Jhon Rojas, flew over the municipality of Rosas to observe the state of alternate roads. The officials came to Piedra Sentada, Patía, where they met with community leaders from El Hoyo and other surrounding areas, with deputies, mayors and the community in general, where the needs were exposed, but also the commitment of each sector to contribute to the mitigation of the consequences of the tragedy that the Colombian southwest is experiencing.

According to Minister Reyes, this meeting was held with the objective of dialoguing with the community and reviewing the conditions of the projected Timbío – El Estanquillo variant by means of an overflight. At that meeting he reported that “Starting this Tuesday, January 24, at 8:00 am, the machinery of the National Institute of Roads (Invias) will arrive to fix the Piedra Sentada – El Hoyo road.”
