Portable Toilet Falls From Seville’s Puente del Centenario During Repairs

A TikTok video shows the toilet dropping from a crane during Acciona’s roughly €100 million bridge overhaul already under judicial scrutiny.

Overview

  • The unit fell at around 17:30 on Thursday while being moved by crane, according to a video posted on TikTok.
  • It shattered in the central lane and briefly halted traffic, with no injuries or material damage reported by Diario de Sevilla.
  • Despite heavy flow at that hour, the object did not hit any vehicles, as seen in the footage.
  • The works on the crossing over the Canal de Alfonso XIII are led by Acciona and involve replacing the bridge’s stay cables.
  • The contract, one of the city’s largest recent awards, has faced prior scrutiny over alleged links to Santos Cerdán, with no new official action reported in relation to this incident.
