From Monday to Friday, a group of teachers from the school Hostel No. 247 of Aguada Florencio get up early, put on their overalls and travel 96 kilometers from Zapala, along the mythical route 40, between wells deep roads, iron bridges and detours on the shoulder, which threaten their decks and their lives. For this reason, five teachers decided to go out and paint them, to complain, but also to warn those who pass through there, of the risks they run.
In the last few hours, the claim went viral when someone baptized them as “the Bachegirls”, and beyond the humor, The problem they denounce requires a serious solution on the part of National Highways.
Cristina Agüero and her classmates, today they went to teach those 40 students who are in the rural school of Neuquén and when they returned they told how the idea of going out to paint the potholes was born.
“Every day at 7 in the morning we get in the cars to go to work. If the route was good, we would have less travel time. The truth is that it is terrible as it is. Passing the detachment, on the bridge, it has like wires outsideso if a car comes from the front, you eat it,” said Cristina Agüero.
From there, the bumpy starts, highlights that there is a part near the Marucho, that you have to go on the shoulder, with the risk that that implies. And if something happens, the insurance will not cover the damages.
“National Route 40 takes you to San Martín de los Andes, it is a tourist route, we do not understand why it is like this. We know that snow and water break the route, but for that reason, more maintenance should be done,” he highlights.
It is not the first time that they have claimed or sought to make visible what they experience on that path every day. In 2018 they made a claim and Validad Nacional worked on the site. “They made some patches, but the patches don’t last, so it breaks more and more. Sand they destroy the cars. One of the companions recently broke the front axle,” they say.
They have been suffering from them for so many years, and they have a map of the wells in their minds. “We know that on that side, you have this well and we go to the other, but there are people who don’t know. That’s why we decided to mark them, p“We tried some, because it is impossible to do all of them, there are not enough liters of paint.”
The claim was raised through the Aten guild. “Although it affects us daily, it affects all the people who circulate, many people pass by. At school we have had to help tourists who have broken roofs and have to wait for the tow truck to come.”
In the part where there is most traffic on the shoulder they wrote “be careful well area”, on the asphalt. They did not cut the route, they simply put up the cones to warn that they were painting and there we explained the situation to many motorists.
“One of the tourists who stopped started talking just as I was writing the peso sign to the “s” for “pozo$.” I explained to him that what we need is for National Roads to invest in fixing the route. Neuquén is also a rich province, we pay taxes,” the teacher concluded and before saying goodbye she said: “I hope this helps to make a decision to solve the problem.”
