Santa Elena, Costa Rica – In a shocking turn of events, the wooden bridge that has been temporarily replacing the Hawksworth Bridge in Santa Elena has failed to impress locals and tourists alike. The bridge, which was put in place after the Hawksworth Bridge was damaged, has been met with criticism for its safety concerns and lack of accessibility.
"I was really disappointed when I saw the wooden bridge," said local resident, Maria Rodriguez. "It’s not the same as having the Hawksworth Bridge open. It’s like going back in time."
The Hawksworth Bridge, which was built in the 1960s, has been a staple of the Santa Elena community for decades. Its closure has had a significant impact on the local economy, with many businesses suffering from a lack of customers.
The wooden bridge, which was put in place to alleviate traffic congestion, has been plagued by issues. Many locals and tourists have reported feeling unsafe while crossing the bridge, citing its rickety structure and lack of railings.
"I was really nervous crossing the bridge," said tourist, John Smith. "I was worried that it was going to collapse. It’s not a safe structure."
The lack of accessibility has also been a major issue for those with disabilities. The wooden bridge has steep inclines and no wheelchair ramps, making it difficult for those with mobility issues to cross.
The town council has been working to find a solution to the bridge’s issues, but so far, no permanent replacement has been found.
"We understand the concerns of the community and are working to find a solution," said town councilor, Carlos Hernandez. "We want to make sure that our residents and tourists feel safe and welcome in our town."
In the meantime, locals and tourists alike are calling for the Hawksworth Bridge to be reopened. Until then, the wooden bridge will have to suffice.
