Typical. Only months since the road was resurfaced and already being dug up. Recipe for potholes to appear. Not an isolated event. Can’t Belco and W&E work this out before the road is resurfaced? Stupid question I know.
This is an “emergency” lane closure. That means that the issue to be addressed could not have been foreseen before the road was resurfaced. It cannot, therefore, be the structural integrity of a retaining wall or anything of that sort. Such matters would have been investigated by the Department of Works and Engineering before resurfacing the road.
