In the early hours of March 26, a tragic incident occurred when six construction workers, including Suazo Sandoval, were on the bridge repairing potholes. Their lives were cut short in a moment of unforeseen disaster. Suazo Sandoval, who had moved from Honduras to the U.S. 18 years ago in search of a better life, leaves behind a legacy of hope and vision, cherished by his family, including two children and seven siblings.

This incident not only highlights the risks faced by those working on our infrastructure but also calls for a moment of reflection on the value of human life and the importance of safety in all aspects of construction and maintenance.
