They dismantle one of the pedestrian bridges of Las Américas; electrical suspension affected several sectors in the early hours

Santo Domingo Este. – During the early hours of this Sunday, one of the pedestrian bridges located on the Las Américas highway was dismantled, as part of the works coordinated by the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) and executed by the Consorcio Autopista Las Américas. The dismantling process required the temporary de-energization of several electrical circuits, a measure implemented by the Eastern Electricity Distribution Company (Edeeste) to ensure the safety of technical personnel and citizens. As a result, residents of sectors such as Arismar, Barrio Nuevo, Campechito, Los Farallones, Frailes I, Molinos-América, San Bartolo, Los Tres Ojos, Maquiteria, Marbella II and III, among others, experienced interruptions in the electrical service between 12:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.

A team from De Último Minuto went to the area in the morning to verify the work and confirmed that one of the pedestrian structures has already been completely dismantled. Also, it was confirmed that the second bridge is out of service, even without its access staircase, pending its subsequent removal.
