Two-way traffic is flowing normally through Chavon after a temporary bridge was erected earlier this month. Engineer Alberto Pagan, who has overseen the building of the bridge, said that the structure has the capacity to carry any type of vehicle and that it may remain open on a permanent basis. According to Pagan, once the original structure has been rebuilt (by December or January), the authorities may decide to dedicate each of the bridges to one-way direction traffic. Pagan maintained that the new structure would withstand the sort of river swelling that toppled the original bridge.
