The Minister of Popular Power for Transportation, Ramón Velásquez Araguayán, said that the Bolivarian Government is repairing the structure of the elevated one located in La Candelaria, which connects to Andrés Bello Avenue, in the Libertador municipality, in Caracas.

Early this Wednesday, Velásquez Araguayán, accompanied by the head of Government of the Capital District, Nahún Fernández, carried out an inspection of the elevation that suddenly suffered a collapse in the access ramp, “which is already being investigated to find the causes that caused it.”

The Minister reported that the repairs have already been made, it is necessary to supplement and replace the tension guards to prevent these damages from continuing to occur and a tragedy occurs.

Through a post on his Instagram account, he explained that during an evaluation carried out by the technical team of the Ministry of Transport, they noticed that the tension rod that connected the bridge's fins are missing. “It's not common for a bridge that has been built to all engineering standards to not have these safety mechanisms.”

In that regard, he stated that, following the guidelines of President Nicolás Maduro, they will inspect the 7 elevations that the city of Caracas has, plus all the bridges that currently exist. “We don't rule out any act of sabotage to create anxiety in the community.”

“We are here as a single team, to give an immediate response to the people and ensure effective traffic for drivers,” he said.
