La Paz Street Closure Creates Traffic Chaos

La Paz Street Closure Causes Chaos: Calle Honda Revitalization Project Disrupts City Center La Paz, Bolivia – The closure of Calle Honda in downtown La Paz has created significant traffic and pedestrian congestion. The closure, part of a sewer revitalization project undertaken by EPSAS (Empresa Pública Social de Agua y Saneamiento), began on May 21st and is scheduled to last until June 9th. The disruption is impacting both vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the heart of the city. "It's the usual chaos," said one resident interviewed near the closure. "They stop, and now what are they doing? It's worse." The resident also highlighted the lack of clear signage, making it difficult for pedestrians to safely cross the street. The video footage shows heavy congestion on alternative routes, including Calle Genaro Sanjinés and others. The reporter explains that while alternative routes have been suggested, they are also experiencing significant delays due to the increased traffic volume. The situation underscores the challenges of large-scale infrastructure projects in densely populated urban areas. EPSAS has yet to comment publicly on the level of disruption caused by the closure.
