A section of the University Of Guyana Road is collapsing over what appears to be an inlet beneath. There have been expressed fears of it becoming a possible growing sink hole as has been highlighted by many public spirited citizens including Sherod Duncan an environmental activist who often uses the roadway.
Duncan had opined that, “In another week or two the entire area could be rendered impassable.”
Additionally the bridge on the Railway Embankment close to the Convention Center was rehabilitated a few weeks ago and already potholes are appearing, Duncan pointed out.
There were also some high metal bars placed above the bridge to prevent large vehicles from traversing and damaging the road. However, residents say the trucks just drove right through them.
These issues were highlighted on social media and Kaieteur News contacted Annette Ferguson, the Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure yesterday.
She informed that the two matters have been brought to her attention and stated, “A technical crew will be deployed during the week to assess and render repairs to the defective area in the road.” As it relates to the metal bars over the bridge, the Minister assured, “The technical personnel will re-examine the area and put forward a permanent solution to avoid further mishap.”
