The Associated Press reports on June 13th that snowfall on Wednesday left thousands of trucks stuck on roads on both sides of the border as officials closed the tunnel for an estimated 72 hours, according to the Telam news agency. Drivers were advised to find other places to cross the border while the high winds and snowstorms continued. The Cristo Redentor tunnel is located 10,400 feet above sea level and is 1.9 miles long. |
