Infrastructure and bridge projects in Dominican Republic and

Overview

The provided snapshots describe distinct infrastructure developments in different regions.

In the Dominican Republic, President Luis Abinader inaugurated a bridge over the La Leonora River in Maimón to prevent community isolation during high river flows. This project included the construction of gabion walls and a linear park. Additionally, a temporary Corten steel bridge was opened over the Canal Maldonado on Líbano Street to facilitate transit while permanent hydraulic reconstruction continues.

In Argentina, authorities in Villa Cañás and the province of Buenos Aires have focused on removing bridge obstructions to improve drainage. In Villa Cañás, a collapsed bridge was removed from a primary drainage canal to manage rainfall. In Buenos Aires, officials began demolishing a 120-year-old English railway bridge on the Maldonado Canal, which had obstructed water flow during a major flood in March 2025. This demolition is part of a larger project to expand the canal's capacity.
