Notwithstanding the volume of road works being done in the county, residents in Berbice are upset because of the volume of substandard work being done.
Work was done on the bridge that runs over the Republic Road trench which takes residents to the National Insurance Scheme, the St Therese Primary School, the National Library, the Basketball Court and the Angoy’s Avenue areas.
The works were only completed a few months ago and holes have started to appear. The construction should have been overlaid with about two inches of asphalt. But that was not the case. Residents are blaming the contractors for doing shoddy and substandard works.
However, contractors are not taking the blame. One contractor put the blame on the suppliers of the asphalt.
One supplier was very upset over the situation and blames the Regional Authorities and the Regional Engineer Department for allowing the situation to escalate. The asphalt mixture is very weak and after a few days the materials start to fall apart, they said.
The supplier wants the relevant agencies to sanction those who are not living up to standard.
Taxpayers’ money is being wasted and residents want the works to be halted.
