Responsibility for the restoration of the San Pedro-Roma Suspension Bridge belongs to both the United States and Mexico. The deteriorating 81-year-old bridge is the only international suspension bridge in the world. Starr County (Texas) Judge Eloy Vera said, “Naturally, we want to preserve it, we want to save it.” However, the United States and Mexico disagree on how to restore the bridge. “Since 1996, we have been struggling to invest more money on both sides (of the border), but so far we have accomplished nothing,” said Servando López Moreno, the mayor of Miguel Alemán, Mexico, the town that witnessed the bridge’s construction in 1928.

Good summary. I think that it would be difficult for them to decide what to do with the bridge because they both have to put money into it and agree on one thing then.
ReplyDeleteNice summary... Without reading some of these summaries I would never think to read all of these stories, very interesting.
