Pachuca influencer receives police support during unauthorized pothole repairs

Influencer Horacio Alejandro López Hierro attempted to repair potholes on the Atirantado bridge in Pachuca to reduce risks for motorists and motorcyclists. While he initially feared police intervention for unauthorized work on public roads, a municipal officer instead assisted by using a patrol vehicle to signal traffic and protect the worker until the repairs were completed.

The incident has sparked debate regarding citizen initiatives versus official infrastructure management. Pachuca Mayor Jorge Reyes has previously expressed concerns regarding unauthorized repairs, noting that individuals often act for attention and may use materials that do not meet technical specifications, leading to poor quality and recurring damage.
