Vehicular Bridge over Las Piedras Stream

During the rainy season, the stream would flood, and the existing bridge between El Molino neighborhood (Florencio Varela) and Los Eucaliptus neighborhood (Quilmes) would be submerged below the flood level. Four people, including two children, had died due to this issue. We built a new vehicular bridge together with local residents and volunteers. With this new crossing, families can safely travel to work or school even on rainy days.
