00:05It's about 2 in the morning and in the city of Bolívar, in the southwest of Bogotá,
00:09the nubes start to unload with force the water of vespertino that has become common in Bogotá.
00:17For the people who depend on this bridge, it's the worst news.
00:25The fragile structure of wood represents a danger for the peatons that try to cross the bridge over the furious
00:32waters of La Trompeta,
00:34which, against any other aguacero, is created and threats to carry everything on its path.
00:41Then, cross the bridge becomes a whole problem.
00:44This abuelo and his parents have no more remedy than to take advantage of the path.
00:49Every step, there is a uncertainty, because a caída in this place can be fatal.
00:57It's very dangerous, but it's not to have government.
01:03A puente of these are necessary and no one can't do it.
01:08When the rain comes, the break becomes the calm, but the danger is still the same.
01:14The problem is that, like this, there are three paths in the area that connect to four bridges between each
01:20other.
01:20And the only way are these primitive bridges.
01:24Marlene Saenz, who cruza the puente every day, says that in several occasions, the corriente lo has destroyed.
01:31There is where they see the barracks, there has been the puente.
01:34Always, because of the water that breaks and everything, so it's not to have to be able to do it
01:41again.
01:43Wilson, who suffered a recent accident, has been able to do it as possible to cross the muletas.
01:48So, on the way, with this mulet is very difficult.
01:51If you go and the people are in danger, there is no danger, but there is no more than the
01:55piso.
01:55And then, there is no more than the road.
02:00We have been insisting on the hechure of a puente, and at least a puente, that is not as dangerous.
02:09The neighbors are tired of hearing promises of work that still don't start.
02:14They have come, but then they don't come, they always come and they don't do it.
02:20The plan of the local alcaldía of the city of Bolivar was, along with the Institute of Development,
02:24to build the three puentes that they need to do with urgency.
02:30But the calculations were gone wrong.
02:32Inicialmente, we thought that with the 1.600 million, we reached the construction of the three puentes,
02:36because they were peatonal, but the studies and diseños arrojaron that they needed more than 2.000 million.
02:43Now, says the alcalde, the option is pedir to Lidu that addition to 700 million for the work to do.
02:49In the meantime, the winter, which is not the tregua, makes more serious the situation of the people.
02:55It came back to llover, and once again, it is repeated the saddest.
02:58It came back, so this is a big cause of each university.
