– Call on Public Works Minister to address issue
Residents who use the main access bridge at Dakara Creek, Timehri are calling on the Minister of Public Works and other relevant authorities to renovate the existing bridge which is in a deplorable condition and is always under water.
According to the residents, the main access road is being used by trucks to get to the loam pit, and as such these heavy duty vehicles contributed to the deplorable condition of the roadway and the damaged bridge.
“Every time we go to see Minister Robeson Benn he is very unwilling to speak with us, because he had told us that a tender was passed for somebody to do the road, but it was never done,” one resident said.
Residents explained that because of the amount of loam being left behind while trucks traverse over the bridge, the creek under the bridge is now blocked.
Adding that the road has become almost impassable for cars, residents said the situation is a dire one since many vehicle owners and taxis are reluctant to even visit the area with their cars.
“When the trucks go into the water it usually covers the front of the truck, sometimes almost three feet of water make trucks cut out,” another resident said. “Imagine some people can’t even park their car at home because they can’t pass the bridge and area.”
Efforts to contact the Public Works Minister Robeson Benn proved futile.
