Asunción intersection a pothole-ridden hazard after failed repairs

The intersection of Luis Alberto de Herrera and Pa’i Pérez streets in Asunción, Paraguay, has once again deteriorated into a calamitous state, presenting a significant risk to urban transit. Despite recent repair efforts, the junction is now riddled with potholes and uneven surfaces, appearing worse after recent rainfall.

The current condition of the intersection poses a clear danger to drivers and motorcyclists. The large potholes and unevenness can force drivers into sudden braking or last-minute swerves, increasing the likelihood of accidents. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to falls and serious injury on such hazardous terrain.

Beyond the immediate safety concerns, the poor state of the road surface is also causing considerable damage to vehicles. The constant jarring and impacts from navigating the potholes can lead to costly repairs for car owners. This ongoing issue highlights a persistent problem with road maintenance in the capital.
