Govt. blocks heavy vehicle usage at collapsing Charity riverside
Government has blocked heavy trucks and equipment from using a key road to the Charity river area after reports that sections were caving in.
According to the Ministry of Public Works, its River and Sea Defence Unit is now currently assessing the best options to rehabilitate sections of the area which have been deteriorating over the past few weeks.
Charity, Region Two, has long been known as a critical gateway to Pomeroon and the North West District area, Region one.
“Engineers have determined that heavy duty equipment/trucks that traverse the area – to the port facility – contribute to the vulnerability of defence. It is apt to note that the wharf is an economic drive in the community since it is a conduit for businesses to transport goods and services to the North West district.”
The area that is said to be collapsing is one where construction of a gas station is underway.
Region Two administration has reportedly said it was left out of the decision to grant permission for the gas station.
The Ministry said yesterday, that as an interim solution to the residents’ concerns, a sign prohibiting heavy duty trucks and equipment from using the roadway to the wharf – was erected on Monday.
