Traffic Disruption on Eastern Main Road between Railway Road and Oropouche Road, Eastern Main Road,


Release date: 2/11/2020

The Ministry of Works and Transport wishes to advise the general public that repairs commenced between Railway Road and Oropouche Road, Eastern Main Road, Sangre Grande during the week of January 20th, 2020.
 
The selected method of repair entailed milling and stabilization of the underlying layers. This sustainable approach to road construction utilizes the existing road material and combines it with cement and bitumen to produce a stronger durable layer. With this process, the surface must be left to cure for a minimum of seven (7) days.
 
In light of the repairs to leaking mains and the curing process, paving of the final surface will commence on the week of February 16th, 2020 and is expected to be completed within three (3) days.
 
The Ministry of Works and Transport wishes to advise the general public that these works are necessary to preserve the integrity of the road and underground infrastructure. The Ministry regrets any inconvenience caused and thanks the public for its cooperation.  For further information, please view the Ministry of Works and Transport’s website
