(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 15 - Cogne's isolation is set to end on 27
July when the regional highway connecting the Aosta Valley town
on the slopes of the Gran Paradiso mountain to the outside world
is set to reopen in both directions after being badly damaged by
devastating floods at the end of last month, Governor Renzo
Testolin said on Monday.
Almost 1,800 tourists had to be evacuated from the town by
helicopter due to the town being cut off.
Indeed, 700 cars are still stranded in Cogne.
The owners of 650 of the vehicles will be taken up by bus to the
town on July 21 to recover them. (ANSA).
