Ticino had a quiet night despite more heavy rainfall. Lavizzara in the upper Maggia Valley has been accessible to residents again since Monday morning. The regional command staff lifted the road closure on Monday morning.
The road restrictions have been lifted since 06:45 on Monday, according to a statement from the Ticino cantonal police. The Valle Lavizzara is once again passable for residents.
Access to the valley is also possible again via the pedestrian bridge at Visletto further down in the Maggia Valley, albeit with restrictions. Priority is given to first aid organizations. At certain times, suppliers of essential goods and farmers are also allowed to pass.
Despite the heavy rainfall, the Ticino cantonal police spoke of a quiet night on Monday. There have been no operations so far, as a police spokesperson told the Keystone-SDA news agency in the early morning.
"The night was no longer special", said a spokesperson for the Ticino cantonal police. There have also been no incidents in the region around Mendrisio so far. According to TCS traffic information, the cantonal road to Valle di Muggio in southern Ticino was still closed on Monday morning due to a landslide.
It rained heavily in southern Ticino on Monday night. In Mendrisiotto, the Federal Office of Climatology and Meteorology (MeteoSwiss) recorded over 200 liters of rain per square meter within 24 hours, as reported on the X platform on Monday night.
