Micol Angeles Councilwoman notes that "since it is a security issue, the municipal government can not be irresponsible to adopt a wobbly attitude and continue to operate, as it has done, based on patches.
We are talking about an absolutely priority, which supports even consider postponing the near future ".
In this sense, the mayor stressed that "does not seem the most appropriate thing, says the latest report submitted to the City Council on the state of the bridge 'is underpinned with rotten wood'.
Really there is no urgency to rehabilitate a bridge nearly 300 years of falling boulders, which has huge cracks in the pavement and shored up with rotted wood parts?
What else is needed to decide to undertake an urgent rehabilitation? ".
Now Micol remember that Murcia has made several complaints about the state of the Old Bridge "since September 2015, and the problems are solved rather than later".
In this sense, the mayor recalled that detachments of large pieces of stone blocks reported by the municipal formation must now add looming large cracks in the asphalt of the bridge.
"Keep in mind that is an infrastructure in addition to pedestrians is used by motor vehicles, including buses and trucks.
Also, having a traffic light in the middle of the bridge, the weight of these vehicles rests for several minutes on the same point and transmits vibrations to the structure, "said the councilor.
The mayor also warns that "the region is a zone of high seismic activity, making it even more important to maintain this type of infrastructure in perfect condition.
Administrations should put everything in its power to ensure the safety and physical integrity of all its neighbors as far as possible ".

It is noteworthy that all these problems in Old Bridge that have commenced after dredging, it would be desirable for the CHS study and report on whether their actions had an impact on this century-old infrastructure. "
