A key bridge in Konawaruk, Region Eight which had become impassable will be operational from Monday, Government has assured.
Yesterday, Minister within the Ministry of Natural Resources, Simona Broomes,
explained that bridge serves as an important cog to mining operations in that region, but it was recently swept away during rains.
The Ministry of Natural Resources has been engaging the Ministry of Public Infrastructure with a view to ensuring the early restoration of the bridge, a release from the former said.
Restoration work is being undertaken by MMC Inc., with the company yesterday assuring that work will be completed within a timeframe that will allow for normal use by vehicles as of Monday.
MMC Inc. has further assured the Minister that the bridge will now be reinforced to ensure that it can withstand the ravages of inclement weather in the future.
Minister Broomes has said that those miners with whom she spoke earlier in the day, expressed relief at the news of the imminent restoration of the bridge and indicated their satisfaction over the on-the-ground attention.
She disclosed that Government is also paying attention to weather-related difficulties affecting smaller bridges in other parts of Konawaruk, including the Tiger Creek area, which is having a negative effect on mining operations throughout the region.
“Arising out of this, the Ministry of Natural Resources is engaging the Ministry of Public Infrastructure on the matter of the early repairs/restoration of the affected bridges.”
