Department of Transportation and Public Works

Eileen Vélez Vega has joined Kimley-Horn, an engineering firm with contracts with two public corporations whose boards of directors she chaired. The firm also worked on the proposed Esencia project for Cabo Rojo.

The Department of Transportation and Public Works informed that 16 bridges suffered damage after Hurricane Fiona struck, but a Center for Investigative Journalism investigation found that this number is wrong and that, from those 16, nine bridges had their strength and stability seriously or severely affected prior to the hurricane that hit Puerto Rico on September 18.
