The north side of the 27 de Febrero Expressway crossing Máximo Gómez was closed to traffic on Friday after drainage problems caused a meter-wide fissure between the expressway and its intersecting tunnel. In a rare occurrence, the builders, Modesto Constructora published a half page advertisement in the local newspapers apologizing for the problem and the inconveniences and explaining that they take full responsibility and would work immediately to correct the problem that affects the prefabricated lining of the tunnel. Traffic is being detoured until the problem is corrected. Engineer José Modesto and Reginald García, structural engineer of the company, sign the advertisement.
