The team is conducting technical surveys to determine the exact causes of the failure, the magnitude of the damage, and the necessary intervention measures as part of the Dominican government&#8217;s emergency response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The structure succumbed to intense rainfall recorded over the past few hours, which triggered river overflows and widespread flooding across several sectors of the province. The collapse has completely severed traffic on this alternate road that connects Puerto Plata with Santiago de los Caballeros, causing significant concern among local residents and authorities in the neighboring municipality of Gaspar Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technical leadership and field operations<br>The evaluation is being led by Engineer Fanny Ramos, regional director of Onesvie, alongside engineer Ernesto Polanco Grant, head of the Puerto Plata delegation. They are overseeing a multidisciplinary team of engineers, architects, and specialized technicians currently on-site performing data collection.<br>Authorities confirmed that once the technical field surveys are finalized, the agency will submit a detailed report outlining the findings and specific recommendations for the reconstruction or repair of the infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inter-institutional coordination<br>Officials from the Ministry of Public Works (MOPC) are also present at the site to coordinate immediate actions and support the evaluation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These efforts are part of a broader government strategy to address damages caused by the recent weather front across various regions, including Espaillat Province. In areas such as Gaspar Hern\u00e1ndez, authorities have deployed priority interventions aimed at mitigating risks, protecting vulnerable communities, and strengthening infrastructure resilience against increasingly extreme climate events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/onesvie.gob.do\/noticias\/onesvie-evalua-danos-tras-colapso-del-puente-de-camu-en-puerto-plata\/\">Onesvie <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>14 April 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A technical team from the National Office of Seismic Evaluation and Vulnerability of Infrastructure and Buildings (Onesvie) has launched a comprehensive assessment of the Cam\u00fa Bridge in Puerto Plata following its structural collapse.
