Dangerous Cracks Appear on Guatemala City Overpass

Guatemala City Overpass in Urgent Need of Repair A section of the pedestrian overpass in Lomas del Norte, Zone 17, Guatemala City, is in critical condition, according to a video posted by Congressman Cristian Álvarez GT. The video shows significant cracks and a large hole in the structure, raising serious safety concerns. "Vea usted este lado. Está quebrado y hay un tubo ahí en medio," Álvarez states in the video, pointing to a damaged section. He also highlights further damage on the opposite side of the overpass. Álvarez's video has sparked debate about the municipality's responsibility for maintaining the city's infrastructure. He directly questions the lack of repair work and the potential danger to the public. The video concludes with Álvarez showing traffic control measures that are insufficient to address the structural issues. The municipality has yet to respond publicly to the congressman's concerns. The condition of the overpass underscores the need for regular inspections and timely maintenance of public infrastructure to ensure the safety of Guatemalan citizens.
