The damage to the La Farola viaduct, one of the main access routes to the city of Baracoa, continues following the passage of Hurricane Oscar and the ongoing rains affecting the province of Guantánamo.
Radio Guantánamo reported on Tuesday via its Facebook profile that the Chief of the Eastern Army, Major General Eugenio Rabilero Aguilera, visited the La Farola viaduct.
There, alongside the Minister of Construction, he assessed on-site the joint efforts of the engineering units of the FAR and the teams from the Ministry of Construction to rehabilitate this important transportation route, which, more than a week after Hurricane Oscar's passage, has yet to be resolved.
Juana Eglis Fernández Louit shared on the social media platform X a gallery of images showing that the persistent rains are still causing landslides that affect traffic on the famous La Farola viaduct, regarded as one of the seven wonders of civil engineering in Cuba.
A report from the state-run Televisión Cubana updated the damages that have been identified so far in the province of Guantánamo as a result of Hurricane Oscar's recent impact.
The governor of Guantánamo, Alisa Saárez Torreblanca, reported that a total of 56 kilometers of roads have been damaged and more than 10,500 homes have been affected in some way.
Furthermore, it was noted that, in the electricity sector, over 67% of those affected in the province have already regained their power supply.
Regarding the school year, it was explained that more than 440 educational centers in the municipalities that were not affected by the cyclone were able to resume classes. However, the 175 buildings that suffered damage will do so on November 4th.
