Guatemala City's Roosevelt Overpass: A Political Storm Brews Over Unfinished Project

Guatemala City's Roosevelt Overpass: A Case of Poor Planning? An unfinished overpass on Calzada Roosevelt in Guatemala City has sparked controversy. Diputado Cristian Álvarez GT, in a recent video, points to the municipality's flawed design as the cause of significant delays. "The municipality didn't know about a collector pipe," Álvarez states, showing documents from a May 7, 2025 meeting. The oversight forced a costly bypass, adding months to the project. The video shows meeting footage detailing the design issues. The incident highlights concerns about transparency and planning in public works projects. The municipality has yet to respond publicly.
