NewzAn avalanche of snow has forced the closure of the Cristo Redentor international mountain pass until further notice. The incident occurred on Wednesday along Route 60 in Chile, specifically in the area known as "Los Japoneses" within the trans-Andean switchbacks.
The closure comes as a direct result of the snow blockage covering the roadway, halting international transit through the vital mountain crossing. Authorities have not yet specified when the route will be cleared and reopened for travel.
