Another sign falls from the overpass at the intersection of Avenida 85 and T-63.
The problem also occurs on the elevated section of Praça do Ratinho, putting drivers and pedestrians at risk; the overpasses were built by Delta during the administration of Iris Rezende (PMDB).
Goiás 247_ It has become routine for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers passing through the overpasses on Avenida 85 to be careful not to be hit by the panels that frequently come loose. Another aluminum panel has come loose, this time on the overpass at the intersection of Avenida 85 and Avenida T-63.
The image was captured by photojournalist Benedito Braga, and the falling of the signs was covered in a report published this Thursday in the newspaper O Popular. The new Semob department (responsible for municipal works) told the newspaper that it will take the necessary measures.
For over a year and a half, residents of Goiânia have been aware of the precarious conditions of the two overpasses. The slabs come loose practically every week, posing a risk to those passing by. Last year, the city government stated it would resolve the situation, but the slabs continue to fall.
The two overpasses were built by the construction company Delta during the administration of former mayor Iris Rezende (PMDB). However, in the first few days after their inauguration, they presented structural problems. In addition to the aluminum structures coming loose, cracks have already been detected in the overpasses.
