The Asunción City Hall closed a section of Presbítero Justo Román Street for 45 days for storm drainage works in the Santo Domingo basin. The measure further isolates the Manorá and Santo Domingo neighborhoods, which already suffer from traffic collapse. The work, promised by former mayor Óscar Rodríguez with funds from G8 bonds, is delayed and marked by allegations of fund diversion.
