More update on santiago downtown sidewalk renovation. Actually its not a renovation at all. The sidewalk had been renovated about 6 months ago, now the city plans on taking all the electrical, cable TV and telecommunication/ internet cables underground. There is a disaster in downtown santiago and traffic jams are bring the city to a halt. Businesses are suffering due to the fact, customers can't get in or out of businesses. Here are some pictures from my cell phone.
This new business had some fancy marble tiles installed in the front of his store on the side walk to make the entrance more attractive to people.
this is the new side walk design.
El encanto, the entrance / exit closed due to wet cement.
main circuit box, which is burried in the ground.
Entrance to banreserva (calle san luis)
many streets are closed.
So be careful. If you don't have to come to downtown santiago, then postpone your trip.
