The mayor of Caracas, Carmen Meléndez, reported this Friday that the city has 172 active work fronts for the reconstruction of buildings, educational centers and public spaces affected by the double earthquake.

San Bernardino has 29 fronts, followed by Sucre with 27, January 23 with 18, San Pedro and Santa Teresa with 13 each, while El Recreo, El Paraíso and Santa Rosalía have 8 fronts each. The rest of the teams are distributed in the other territories of the capital.
The mayor indicated that several projects are almost 100% complete, such as the replacement of pipes in the Jpauli building in Santa Teresa; comprehensive care for the Hand of God sector and the rehabilitation of the La Paz module, both in El Paraíso; as well as the reconstruction of the Teresa de la Parra.
He also highlighted the special attention given to the structure of the Tower of David, the Anaconda ravine, two gabion walls in El Recreo and 23 de Enero, in addition to the reconstruction of the town of El Junquito.
Meléndez said that teams are staying on the street servicing services, optimizing roads, bridges and traffic lights. “The reborn Caracas doesn't stop,” he concluded.
