The road from Ventimiglia to the Col de Tende is washed away at more than 10 places, which means Tende, Saint Dalmas, la Brigue, Fontan and Saorge will be unaccessible by road for a long time.
The most important damage is at the south entrance of the Col de Tende tunnel, which will take years to be repaired.
There are two emergency gravel roads, one from Tende to Limone via Speggi and the Col de Tende, the other from la Brigue to Triora (route de l'Amitié). Both are accessible only with 4x4 vehicles and are not practicable in winter.
