El propósito del estudio que aquí se reporta es proponer y evaluar un conjunto de acciones estratégicas dirigidas a preservar esta singular estructura geológica declarada monumento natural. Con base en trabajos de campo y de gabinete se efectuó un análisis ambiental integral, en tres etapas, el cual permitió diagnosticar el deterioro del puente, proponer un plan de acciones y valorar a largo plazo la efectividad de las acciones. Para este último fin se aplicó el software PROMETHEE para valorar la aplicabilidad, eficiencia y pertinencia de las 13 acciones propuestas. De este modo se diferenciaron seis acciones óptimas, dos con incidencia indirecta y cinco no relevantes. Se establece que los problemas ambientales que afectan la estabilidad del puente están asociados, fundamentalmente, a la erosión natural acentuada por la sobreexplotación antrópica del lugar.]]></p></abstract>

The purpose of the study is to evaluate and proposing a set of strategic actions aimed at preserving this unique geological structure declared a natural monument. Based on field and cabinetwork, a comprehensive environmental analysis was carried out in three stages, which allowed diagnosing the degradation of the bridge, proposing an action plan and assessing the effectiveness of the actions in the long term. For this last purpose, the PROMETHEE software was applied to assess the applicability, efficiency and relevance of the 13 proposed actions. In this way, six optimal actions were differentiated, two with indirect incidence and five not relevant. It was also possible to establish that the environmental problems affecting bridge stability are mainly associated with natural erosion accentuated by the anthropic overexploitation of the place.]]></p></abstract>
