An advertising panel collapsed onto a pole in Azuga, affecting power and telecommunications and temporarily blocking DN 1

Azuga’s electricity distribution infrastructure and telecommunications networks were affected on Friday after a billboard collapsed onto a power pole. The incident temporarily blocked traffic on DN 1 so that authorities could remove the danger and secure the area.

Electrica teams are working to replace the damaged pole, while telephone, internet and data transmission operators are intervening to restore the affected services. Azuga City Hall said the operation is complex and that full repairs could take longer, as the damaged infrastructure needs to be rebuilt.

Authorities have not reported any injuries following the billboard’s collapse. Traffic was temporarily restricted to allow the intervention to proceed safely, and normal traffic is expected to resume after the risks have been eliminated. The city hall shared information about the incident and the ongoing work on its official Facebook page.
