Road works to continue this week- Works Minister
Several road projects have commenced across the Territory over the last few weeks. Hon Rymer gave an update on these road works while speaking with Government Information Officer Giovanni M.S. Herbert on Sunday, November 24, 2024.
Paraquita Bay to Hodge’s Creek Road
The Paraquita Bay to Hodges Creek Road was closed on Friday, November 22, 2024, to facilitate trenching in the area.
Hon Rymer said the road should be opened to vehicular traffic tomorrow, Tuesday, November 26, 2024.
Little Drix Road
The Little Dix Road extending from the East End Community Centre to the East End Police Station was closed from Sunday, November 24, 2024, to accommodate road works.
“We have an issue there where there is constant ponding of water for various reasons, so we want to concrete the area, put in some drainage...so that there will be a smooth transition when you go through that area,” Hon Rymer explained.
Sir Francis Drake Highway
Work began on the Sir Francis Drake Highway today, November 25, 2024, near Prospect Reef. The works include “paving one section of that road”. According to Hon Rymer, the road will be paved one lane at a time to facilitate traffic. The other side he anticipates will be paved by the weekend.
Meanwhile, Hon Rymer said the three sections of road being worked on in Sea Cows Bay should be opened to vehicular traffic today.
Sister Islands road works
Hon Rymer said road works are ongoing on various sister islands, explaining that some asphalt patching was done.
“You know we have been having continuous rains and a lot of potholes sprung up so we are now trying to address those potholes, so hopefully, if the weather holds up, we will continue patching this week on all islands where necessary,” he stated.
Hon Rymer also said road works will commence on Anegada ahead of the Lobster Festival.
