The series of meetings between Puerto Vallarta Mayor Salvador Gonzalez Resendiz and Communications and Transportation Directors seem to have paid off, as work to reconstruct the bridge that connects Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit is now underway, and the bridge is expected to be completed before the upcoming 2011 Easter holidays.
