The one-month-old second phase of the Kitty seawall sinkhole project is 20 percent completed. This is according to senior engineer of the project Sherod Parkinson.
In an interview with the Department of Public Information (DPI) Parkinson explained that this
stage includes a box culvert being built for effective drainage. “With good weather, the second phase should be completed in the next two weeks,” Parkinson said.
The sinkhole developed last December due to the failure of three pipes feeding the Kitty pump station – repairs subsequently began in January 2017.
The project has three phases- the first included works on the seawall road; the second deals with the section going towards Vlissengen Road and Carifesta Avenue and the third phase will see the construction of a roundabout at the Carifesta Avenue, Rupert Craig Highway and Vlissengen Road junction.
A roundabout is a circular intersection where drivers travel counterclockwise around a centre island.
Geoffrey Vaughn, Permanent Secretary within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure said this will enable drivers to reach their destinations effortlessly and reduce the build-up of traffic travelling to the East Coast, Carifesta Avenue or in the Kitty vicinity.
The project is expected to be completed by year-end.
