Two weeks for Wharf Road

The partially eroded Wharf Road, a major artery for traffic in and around Bridgetown, is set to reopen by Independence Day.
Today at a press briefing on the site, Minister of Transport Works (MTW) John Boyce said  motorists would be able to travel in one lane along Wharf Road, which was closed nearly two weeks ago.
“We are going to start immediately on the culvert repair to allow the single access. It will be dealt with in the normal funding of the ministry and if there is a special provision to be made; then a supplementary will be sought so we can get ahead with it,” Boyce said.
This is a short-term measure, and the technocrats of MTW, spearheaded by Chief Technical Officer Nash Lovell acknowledged that much work had to be done.
Boyce thanked the public for their cooperation in adjusting to the traffic changes that have had to be put in place.
