La Route Littoral

Here is the main highway that lines the northern and western coasts of Réunion. La Route Littoral is known for its embouteillages (horrendous traffic jams) and its falling rocks. So many rocks fall every day/week/month/year that the route is often (at least once per week and recently every Sunday) closed, causing these awful embouteillages. Here are some shots of the repair work they have put in place to help keep rocks from killing citizens. Jonathan was La Route Littoral for our Halloween party, hilarious.
