Ocoa getting re-connected

[NewsWhore]

The town of San Jose de Ocoa will get re-connected to the national road network today, Public Works Minister Victor Diaz Rua told the press. He said that a new access road to Ocoa has had to be built, since the old road was not reparable. Diaz explained that three alternative roadways are being built, and that because of geological faults and constant landslides the construction works are difficult. Due to the destruction of the road, workers have had to carry food, water, vegetables and other materials, some using mules and some carrying loads on their backs. Likewise, farmers are sending their crops to market using innovative baskets and transport methods, as reported in the press. Helicopters could be seen flying over Ocoa all day yesterday, but Civil Defense workers and town residents are complaining of the disorganization that has plagued the relief efforts.
