El desbordamiento del Río Lozoya afecta a vías como la M-611 o la M-637

One of the most affected basins by the storm Jana was the Lozoya basin, which flooded areas in Alameda del Valle, El Paular, and Rascafría. The water is receding, but it has caused material damage in the surroundings of Las Presillas, and several bridges are still impassable.

Heavy rains and the increase in river flow have cut off several roads, including the M-611 at Km 18 in Rascafría. In addition to the rains, the snow in the area poses a second risk factor.

Some hikers who had gone to enjoy the landscape have admitted that despite the closed paths and some blocked roads, they have been able to enjoy without too much trouble.

Another affected road is the M-637 in Lozoya, closed as a precaution due to falling trees and to prevent possible accidents. Julián, a worker involved in tree felling, comments on the large number of trunks they have been cutting down.

Most of the wood comes from the Navafría pass, which, due to the risk of falling onto the road, has been cut and piled up in a safe place. Because these are very old pine forests and the snow is very wet, the possibility of them breaking and causing accidents was extremely high.

The rivers continue to widen their course due to the rain, cutting off roads, and this situation may persist throughout this week.
