Residents evacuated due to recent flooding in Uruguay are beginning to return home, but significant concerns are mounting over extensive damage to rural roadways. The Mayor of Cerro Largo, Christian Morel, has formally requested an additional $2 million USD from the national government specifically for road repairs. Conditions in the department of Treinta y Tres are reportedly severe, with locals comparing the damaged roads to the state of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War. The deterioration of these rural routes is hindering access for residents and impacting essential services. The request highlights the scale of infrastructure damage caused by the flooding and the urgent need for financial assistance. Officials are assessing the full extent of the damage to prioritize repair efforts and restore connectivity to affected communities. The long-term economic impact on agricultural areas reliant on these roads is also a growing worry.
