Government to Spend L19.1 Million Rebuilding Collapsed Valle de Ángeles Bridge

Published on Honduras Daily · Aug 8, 2026 · Originally reported August 6, 2026 by El Heraldo

The Infrastructure Ministry will spend L19.1 million (roughly $765,000) to repair the Juan Manuel Gálvez overpass, which collapsed in April 2025 under overweight machinery, though no one has been held accountable and competing reports blame either design flaws or overloaded traffic.
