Czda. de la Viga Bridge
The vehicular bridge that today is a barrier not only for people trying to cross the street but also for the fauna of the site, which makes the site very unsafe. That is why we propose to build a new elevated bridge that will allow people to cross underneath by creating a plaza underneath the bridge with small spaces for commerce or services.
Colorines Bridge
It is now one of the most used pedestrian bridges in this area, today the bridge is used for different activities that the community organizes such as workshops, however, the space is now too small. This is why the latest project consists of expanding the existing bridge and placing a temporary structure to make a deck.
