**Primary Article: Reconstruction of Tijuana Seafront Suspended Due to Lack of Safety Measures**
The reconstruction work on the Tijuana seafront was halted on September 14 due to inadequate safety measures, including lack of proper signage, boundary delineation, and a contingency plan. This decision was enforced by Salvador Cervantes, the state coordinator of Civil Protection in Baja California.
Cervantes explained that the suspension followed complaints from citizens who reported that the construction machinery was operating too close to visitor pathways. “We conducted a drone flight and a physical inspection, identifying several areas where machinery and workers were not properly marked off. This posed a risk of accidents for nearby pedestrians,” he stated.
The reconstruction project, which started several months ago, remains on hold until appropriate safety measures are implemented, and necessary federal and municipal permits are presented. Civil Protection has granted the contractors a 15-day period to submit all required documentation, including a contingency plan to prevent potential accidents.
“We acted preventively to eliminate any risk of accidents. Once the required safety measures and plans are in place, the work can resume,” Cervantes added.
The coordinator clarified that for projects of this scale, a formal evaluation from the para-state agency is not always mandatory. However, due to the identified risks, the intervention was necessary to ensure public safety.
