There is a hole in my city!

During this rainy season in Ecuador (the worst in the last years) we have had so many problems: with the agriculture, housing, etc, mostly because of the floods.

A very impressive problem in this winter in Quito has been the hole we got in “El Trébol” (The Clover) one of the most important avenue intersections in the city. This place joins the roads that come from the south, north, “Los Chillos” valley and the historical center. Here is a picture I got from Google Earth with the aspect of the Trebol before the first of March.


In a terrible rain we have that day, the tunnel/sewer under the Trebol collapsed and caused a huge crater that made impossible the car circulation there. Then the municipality started with the reconstruction and the Trebol is working partially now.
Recovering the use of the Trebol will take some moths even a year or more. Even when the municipality is working hard in that, the rain we still have is a big obstacle. Look at this picture from El Comercio newspaper.


The traffic is a big challenge in Quito. Even more with the three leaves clover.
Even when the next video seemed like “the end of the world” (very quiteñan style) it has very good pictures.
