It is serious that after almost four decades of operation (inaugurated in 1983), the misnamed Medellín-Bogotá highway, which connects the two main capitals of the country, with an average daily traffic of 14,000 cars at the Guarne toll and 2,100, between Cocorná and Puerto Triunfo, it is not a safe route, which guarantees its operation and continues to present failures and claim victims due to problems of instability of its slopes, rockfall, land masses, trees, collapse of its bank …
Yesterday, in the jurisdiction of San Luis, one of the critical sites of the highway, two people died, three more were rescued injured and several houses were affected by a collapse. The road, for the second time in a week, ended up blocked for all types of vehicles.
It is not understood why, in a concession road, with tolls, which would guarantee the maintenance cost, these problems are not corrected.
The Ministry of Transport is in arrears in making a thorough review, because it is unacceptable that every time a landslide occurs due to the rain, nature is being blamed, when the real thing may be the lack of a constant schedule surveillance and maintenance. There is no right that users, after paying tolls, are not guaranteed safety and forced, or to seek alternative routes or to wait for hours, seriously affecting the country’s economy.
