Carraízo Dam

Carraízo Dam is a concrete gravity dam located in the municipality of Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico within the flow of the Río Grande de Loíza. Its construction was completed in 1953. Carraízo Dam impounds Loíza Lake which serves as Puerto Rico's main water reservoir. Background and construction At the end of the 1940s, the Puerto Rico Aqueducts and Sewers Authority (PRASA) proposed the construction of a dam at the Río Grande de Loíza in the Barrio Carraízo of Trujillo Alto with the intention of providing both water and electricity to the San Juan Metropolitan Area. Construction of the dam began in 1950 and finished in 1954. As part of the construction, the dam included three hydroelectric turbines with a total capacity of 3 Megawatts for the provision of electricity. However, during the 1960s and 1970s, the turbines were shut down because their operation and maintenance wasn't considered cost-effective versus the cost of buying energy at the time. In 1989 Hurricane Hugo caused overtopping of the dam, thereby flooding the hydroelectric facility and rendering it inoperable. It stayed closed until 2013, when PRASA elected to renovate the facility. In 2017 Hurricane Maria caused overtopping and flooding to nearby areas. Operation Carraízo dam is a concrete gravity dam. It features eight floodgates along its 210-meter body. The floodgates open at a height of 1 to 10 meters, but they are usually opened at 4 meters. The reservoir created by the Carraízo Dam is the Loíza Lake. Carraízo's water storage capacity is of 4,650,000 gallons, and 41.15 meters is its peak level.

Manatí Bridge at Mata de Plátano

Manatí Bridge at Mata de Plátano, also known as Puente Juan José Jiménez and listed as Bridge #321 in Puerto Rico's bridge inventory, was built in 1905 in Hato Viejo, Ciales, Puerto Rico. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 and on the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 2001. It was the first truss bridge built in Puerto Rico under the administration of the United States (1898–1900) after the Spanish–American War. The bridge spans 80 metres (260 ft) above the Río Grande de Manatí. For Puerto Rico, the span is high, 44 feet (13 m) above the river, "above a spectacular curving canyon of vertical walls traversed by the Manati River". It is a rare type of bridge: a steel double intersection Pratt truss, above a concrete substructure, and is the only such highway bridge in Puerto Rico. Its a 3.8 metres (12 ft) wide, one-lane road. The bridge is visited by tourists. At least 10 railway bridges used the double intersection Pratt truss design, in the French-owned railway that was built during 1890-93 between San Juan and Ponce. Only Cambalache Bridge, across the Arecibo River, survived, as of 1994. The rest were dismantled and sold to cover a bankruptcy by the railroad company that owned them. It was remodeled in 2010. Residents complain when the bridge is closed because it is the only direct access from Manatí to Ciales when the bridge from Morovis to Ciales is inaccessible. In 2018, $6.8 million dollars were earmarked by the US Federal Highway Administration for repairs to the bridge.

Mayagüez Resort & Casino

The Mayagüez Resort & Casino is the largest hotel resort in western Puerto Rico. It sits by the Puerto Rico Highway 2 which is the main road in the west. Close to major shopping centers like Mayagüez Mall and Western Plaza. Less than 5 minutes away from the University Of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. Facilities The hotel has two restaurants, a large conference center, a casino, and a newly constructed river pool. It was the main hotel for the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games. History The hotel is located on the land where the Valdes Castle once stood. Valdes Castle was the home of a prominent Puerto Rican figure Alfonso Valdés Cobián, he was the co-founder of Cervecería India which is the largest brewery on the island and creator of Medalla Light and Malta India. The hotel was built in 1963 by Hilton and was named Mayagüez Hilton. The hotel had a very modern design mimicking that of the Caribe Hilton hotel in San Juan. It had 140 rooms with air-conditioning and an Olympic-sized pool for its guests. The entrance still has the main gates of the Valdes Castle, showcasing its history. It also opened a brand new Casino which was one of the first in western Puerto Rico and was very popular amongst guests. It boasted the tourism to the west but its location wasn't as stellar as they had hoped. Although Mayagüez is one of the biggest cities on the west side, it was being overthrown by Rincon and Aguadilla which were more inclined to get visited by tourists due to the proximity to the airport and its beach offerings that Mayagüez did not have. Because of this, Hilton decided to sell the hotel. The hotel was then purchased by a private group and it was renamed The Mayagüez Resort and Casino. As with its rebranding, it expanded its recreational activities to open a new pool area with a zero-entry pool, a lazy river, and a water slide. And also expanding the room count by opening a brand-new tower adding more than double their rooms. See also List of casinos in Puerto Rico List of hotels in Puerto Rico References

Urban Ecological Park

The Urban Ecological Park (Spanish: Parque Ecológico Urbano), also known as the Ponce Ecological Park (Spanish: Parque Ecológico de Ponce), is a passive park in Ponce, Puerto Rico. The park was designed by Bonin Orozco Arquitectos and was inaugurated on 19 September 2012. The park is unique in that it was designed to create a "green lung" in the city by using ecological mindset in its entirety, from the construction materials used to the design and other areas as well. Except for one tree that got relocated within the project, the new park made use of all the existing trees and shrubs as they existed on the site prior to the development of the park. History Design of the park was by Bonnin Orozco Arquitectos. The municipality started construction on 10 March 2010. By February 2012, 46% of the construction had been completed. It was scheduled to open in August 2012, and the inauguration date was set for 24 August 2012, but due to Hurricane Isaac that week, it was postponed several weeks. The park was finally inaugurated on 19 September 2012. It was inaugurated with the animation of various artists including Dagmar, Glenn Monroig, Jackeline Capó and Ángel ‘Cuco’ Peña. Cost The initial cost of the park is $4.5 million. The park will link to, but it is different from, another park also currently under construction called Parque Lineal Veredas del Labrador. In addition, there are plans to extend Parque Ecologico southward to connect to Parque de la Ceiba. Features The park will have an amphitheater with room for 672 people, a waving path, two pavilions for exhibitions, and a 466-feet artificial river. The park will link to Parque Lineal Veredas del Labrador and to Parque Julio Enrique Monagas. Signature project Parque Ecológico Urbano is a project of Ponce Mayor María Meléndez Altieri. She has called the construction of the park one of the five "signature" projects of her administration. References
Iglesia de San Carlos Borromeo

Iglesia de San Carlos Borromeo (English: Church of Saint Charles Borromeo) is a historic church built in 1783, located on the main plaza of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1984, and on the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 2000. It is one of five churches with architecture designed by State Architect Pedro Cobreros. Description The parish, founded on March 21, 1780, was dedicated to both Our Lady of Victory and Saint Charles Borromeo to honor the then Spanish monarch Charles III of Spain. The original church was built in 1783. An octagonal tower at the north was added in 1862, and another to the south in 1874. The facade was revised in 1887 according to plans designed by Pedro Cobreros. After the 1918 San Fermín earthquake the south tower was rebuilt, lower than before, and the facade was somewhat changed.
