Work Halted on Some Olympic Projects 88 Days Before Rio 2016 Games
With less than three months to go until the start of the games, work on parts of Rio de Janeiro’s Olympic Park and Olympic Village was halted on Monday amid fears for the safety of workers, Brazil’s Ministry of Labour and Employment said.
Officials who reviewed work on a television tower in the Olympic park and digging work at the Olympic village shut down operations at those and two other sites. They did not say exactly what the problems entailed or how serious they were.
