This bridge is key to mobility in the area, connecting the traffic that flows from Calle Martí to the El Incienso bridge and other important areas such as the Bran neighborhood and the Jocotenango neighborhood.
The Adolfo Mijangos bridge was dismantled and its reconstruction is advancing, October 2024
The complete dismantling of Adolfo Mijangos bridge It was necessary after the accident that occurred on February 17 of this year. A trailer traveling at high speed collided with the structure, severely damaging three of its beams and compromising the stability of the bridge. This incident generated the need for urgent intervention, since the bridge was left in conditions that represented a danger to users. Faced with this situation, the Municipality of Guatemala began the process of evaluating and designing a new structure, which was preceded by the dismantling of what remained of the old bridge.
Although work on the structure continues, drivers can now circulate without problems. Only the pedestrian walkway, which allows the safe passage of pedestrians, remains temporarily enabled while the reconstruction progresses. The authorities say that the crossing is enabled with four lanes; two heading north and two heading south. Likewise, starting at 9:00 pm this Monday, October 21, 2024, heavy transport and cargo vehicles can begin to circulate. It is recommended to follow the instructions of the traffic agents on the route and pay attention to the new signage after the removal of the old one. Adolfo Mijangos bridge.
This will be the design of the new Bran Colony bridge
One of the most important aspects of the new bridge is the increase in its height, which will be 5.50 meters. This change responds to the need to modernize the infrastructure and ensure that incidents similar to the one that caused the collapse of the old bridge do not occur. The greater height will allow large vehicles, such as trailers, to pass under it, without the risk of colliding with the structure, something that represented a danger in the previous design.
In addition to the height, the redesign of the bran bridge It will include an exclusive lane to facilitate access to the neighborhood. This modification is significant for residents of the area, as it will reduce the time it takes to enter or leave the area, improving the flow of local traffic. In addition, it allows access from Calle Martí to the El Incienso bridge, and from there to the Jocotenango neighborhood, facilitating day-to-day traffic.
Authorities reiterated that the entire project will be completed in the coming months, once work on the new structure is completed. Meanwhile, traffic in the area will continue to be monitored to guarantee the safety of users, both vehicular and pedestrian.
