U.S. Army Corps Advances Río Piedras Channelization Project Amid Opposition
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will continue with Contract 3 of the Río Piedras channelization project, affecting areas from PR-22 to Luis Muñoz Marín Park. This decision comes despite community opposition and a lack of funding for future project phases.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will proceed with Contract 3 of the Río Piedras channelization project, impacting the section from the PR-22 expressway to Luis Muñoz Marín Park. Community groups have expressed opposition to this phase, which is part of a larger, controversial initiative.
Notably, there are currently no funds allocated for the remaining phases of the project. This situation could lead to increased tensions between community stakeholders and federal agencies, potentially complicating future developments.
