Alert in Samaná: Dangerous sinkhole threatens road safety in the Hondura area
Drivers and residents of the Samaná province have expressed deep concern regarding the presence of a dangerous sinkhole on the main road, specifically in the Hondura sector, after passing the entrance to Puerto Bahía. The deterioration of the road represents a constant risk for those who travel daily along this important route.
According to information obtained by Alofoke Deportes, the repair work necessary to correct the structural failure is currently stalled. The main obstacle is the presence of a utility pole belonging to the telephone company Claro, whose relocation is essential for the crews to be able to work on the site safely and efficiently.
Urgent intervention demanded to prevent accidents
Although temporary signage has been placed in the affected area, the soil erosion continues to advance, increasing the possibility of an accident with regrettable consequences. Given this scenario, the community has made an urgent call to the telecommunications company to collaborate with the competent authorities and expedite the relocation of the pole.
Prevention and timely intervention are fundamental to avoid a tragedy. Effective coordination between utility companies and public institutions is necessary when existing infrastructure represents an obstacle to responding to a road emergency.
Impact on the province’s mobility
The affected section is a high-traffic road that connects Santa Bárbara de Samaná with various communities in the province. The issue underscores the urgency of establishing rapid response mechanisms for situations that compromise the safety of citizens.
- The sinkhole continues to expand, increasing the danger for heavy and light traffic.
- The community expects a definitive solution before weather conditions or continued use of the road worsen the damage.
- Institutional coordination is key to removing the technical obstacles that prevent the rehabilitation of the road.
