Now Murcia calls for urgent action at the fall of a huge boulder of the old bridge (14/09/2015)

While ashlar occupied this morning pedestrian river road, a crane damaged bridge was used to paint the pots, one of the attacks suffered infrastructure

MURCIA NOW denounced at City Hall on August 18 attacks suffered by the Old Bridge, repair and demanding a comprehensive study of the condition.

Last Friday, the municipal group made another complaint, this time on fragments of stone bridge that had fallen to the pedestrian promenade of the riverbank.

Events unfold and this morning has fallen in the same part of the infrastructure much of a foundation stone, together with other large fragments.

It is a stone of enormous size and hundreds of kilos of weight.

"It's not just, without being bit, conservation of an asset of enormous importance for Murcia, but goes beyond the situation as it now also affects the security of Murcia and Murcia," says the councilor and now spokesman Murcia, Alicia Morales.

Indeed, falling stones is occurring on the footpath there on the left bank of the river, which is used for walking and cycling, in addition to water activities that take place in the river and that the City has encouraged during the holidays.

Morales said that "although the police has placed hurdles in the way of margin on both sides of the bridge, to prevent anyone pass, fences not completely close off, and only for a while have seen pass under the bridge cyclists and runners, by the side of the fence ".

Therefore, he says the mayor, "urges to take more forceful and effective measures, because if people keep passing under the bridge misfortune can happen."

Therefore, the technical inspection that have made the City of the damaged part should be rigorous, "centimeters seeing and touching the stones, and not looking at vuelapluma from the ground," said Morales.

It has been given the painful fact that while Alicia Morales and technical inspecting what happened on the bridge there was a crane with workers painting the pots, some pots that now Murcia has denounced that undermine the historic character of the bridge and whose installation and wiring affect irrigation infrastructure.

"While the bridge boulders fall, our mayor only cares to install and repainting pots," laments the councilor.

Now Murcia notes that it must conduct a transportation study that supports the bridge: it is necessary to block traffic to buses?

Would bear the infrastructure that, if necessary, pass the tram on it?

Not forgetting that tomorrow the pilgrimage and thousands of people cross over the iconic Harbour Bridge.
