Dominican Farmers' Plea: Unfinished Bridge Cripples Livelihoods

Residents of Altamira and Guananico in the Dominican Republic are facing severe economic hardship due to a stalled bridge construction project in the Fundación area. The unfinished bridge, shown in video footage obtained by CDN Canal 37, has severely hampered the transportation of agricultural products, leading to significant losses for local farmers. "Hundreds of quintals of agricultural products are being lost because we can't transport them to markets," laments one resident interviewed in the video. Another resident points to the crumbling infrastructure, emphasizing the urgent need for repair. The municipalities have called on the central government to address this critical issue and provide the necessary resources to complete the bridge. The video serves as a powerful illustration of the real-world consequences of delayed infrastructure projects, highlighting the need for swift action to alleviate the suffering of the affected community.
