Bridge to remain closed until October
Gómez MorÃn Bridge will remain closed until October, the city announced at a press conference Friday.
Welds in nearly 50 joints are failing and will need repair over the coming months.
The damaged connections are located in the east and west side of the bridge, authorities said.
So far, the city has rehabilitated pavement on top of the bridge. In the meantime, traffic has worsened in the surrounding areas of the bridge.
The city plans to invest 7.4 million pesos, or about $379,487.
The city said no bowing or similar deformations have been detected in the bridge.
