This Tuesday, Mayor Francisco Azcué toured the works being carried out at the intersection of Roque Sáenz Peña and Bolivia streets. At the site, for years, residents suffered from water accumulation during periods of heavy rainfall, which even caused issues in their homes.
In a joint effort between the Municipality of Concordia, through the Undersecretariat of Public Works and Ferrocarriles Argentinos Sociedad del Estado, drainage cleaning tasks and the installation of precast concrete elements are being carried out to facilitate water runoff.
“It was a long-standing request from the residents, as every time it rained, a lot of water would accumulate and even enter their homes. With these works, it will drain, preventing the problem from persisting,” indicated Azcué, adding that this provides a response to a situation that has been ongoing for a long time.
After highlighting that this is a joint action with Ferrocarriles, “with each party doing its part,” the Mayor of Concordia stated that this is possible thanks to the “reallocation of resources and directing them where there is a priority because that is what the people ask of us. We will continue to invest in more services and infrastructure.”
For his part, the Undersecretary of Public Works, Mateo Sastre, explained that the works consist, on one hand, of the installation of precast concrete elements to allow for water runoff, and on the other, Ferrocarriles carried out the cleaning of the ditches parallel to the tracks.
He also indicated that on Buenos Aires street, in the vicinity of the level crossing, an improvement of the concrete pavement is being executed.
