Alta Vista road deterioration impacts commerce in Puerto Ordaz

Informal workers in the Alta Vista sector of Puerto Ordaz are reporting severe deterioration of the Ventuari road. The advanced decay of the asphalt has persisted for at least six years, impacting both drivers and local commerce.

Street vendors near Ciudad Traki report a significant decrease in customers due to the poor road conditions. During the rainy season, large puddles and standing water create unsanitary conditions, forcing some merchants to raise the floor levels of their kiosks to prevent flooding. While some residents attempted private patching efforts, the repairs failed due to poor material quality and heavy traffic. Local workers are calling on authorities to include the area in Ciudad Guayana’s asphalt maintenance planning.
