In Bragado, Buenos Aires province, local officials and legislators are demanding urgent intervention for a deteriorating bridge on Provincial Route 46 spanning the Mercante Canal.

Councilman Jorge Castillo has proposed a technical evaluation of the structure, focusing on safety barriers, signage, and visibility following two accidents in late 2025 and early 2026. Provincial Deputy Valentín Miranda has also called for action, noting that the bridge is a strategic link between Bragado and Junín. Miranda reported issues including asphalt undermining, damaged culverts, and cracks, while highlighting that a 2021 reconstruction tender valued at over 170 million pesos was canceled and never executed.
