Salgado highlighted the full recovery of the Escénica Avenue, as well as the rehabilitation of the Metlapil viaduct to Boulevard de Las Naciones in its 4 lanes, and the second lane to Llano Largo.
The official also noted that water service has been provided to the peripheral towns with pipes from the State Government.
A census of at least 10,468 families has also been conducted in Acapulco and Coyuca de Benitez. The Welfare Secretariat said that this comes in order to report on the damage to infrastructure caused by Otis in the region.
