Road Crews Repairing Rain Damaged Roads
The Ministry of Public Works and Environment advised that “recent periods of heavy rainfall have impacted sections of the island’s road infrastructure, resulting in the formation of potholes and surface deterioration on several main roads.”
A Government spokesperson said, “As a matter of urgency, Ministry road crews were mobilised throughout the weekend and worked across the island to carry out repairs. These works focused on addressing immediate hazards caused by weather related damage.
“Road repairs were completed at the following locations over the weekend:
- South Shore Road, near Stovell Lane and Coral Beach
- Southcote Road
- Marsh Folly Road
- Crawl Hill
- Spanish Point, near Point Mart
“The Ministry notes that this weekend’s locations are only some of the areas addressed, and that crews will continue fill potholes into the coming work week.
“Motorists are urged to exercise extra caution while driving, particularly following periods of heavy rain, and to remain alert for temporary road conditions and active maintenance work.
“The Ministry of Public Works and Environment thanks the public for their patience and cooperation as efforts continue to maintain Bermuda’s road network during challenging weather conditions.
“The public is reminded that they can report any road deterioration via the GovAlert App, which can be downloaded for free from both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.”
lol we need more than patch work
Was told several tires were destroyed Thursday evening. Crawl Hill is a very bad stretch after rain, yet it seems repaving the Aquarium parking lot was more important.
Now what possible damage to the roads could those 70 heavy electric busses do every day?
Would the rain have done as much damage if the roads had been appropriately maintained over the last 20 years?
Wait for it… wait.. CLIMATE CHANGE! CLIMATE CHANGE!
My, my, my, look at what can happen when a bit of fire is placed underneath certain backsides.
Months of complaining done online and W&E finaly gets a crew with some shovels and asphalt out and hits some of the potholes.
