The central highway between Lima and the Andean towns of La Oroya and Huancayo was opened again early Tuesday morning, after a heavy snowfall ground traffic to a halt for over six hours between in the Ticlio area at 4,800 meters above sea level.

A long line of heavy trucks, passenger buses and private vehicles was stuck on the road in freezing temperatures all night before the snow was cleared to let the traffic flow through again.

The traffic congestion at Ticlio led transport authorities to block access from country’s capital, Lima of all east-bound passenger vehicles for close to six hours until 6:30 am Tuesday, according to Peru.21.
