The five contractors who were involved in the multimillion-dollar road works project along Highway 1 have been instructed to rectify the flaws along that road.

Minister of Transport, Works and Water Resources Ian Gooding-Edghill said they were all told to complete the snagging work left behind after the ten-month long resurfacing of the road.

The minister and a team from the MTW, including Charles Griffith, minister in the ministry; deputy chief technical officer, Philip Tudor and deputy chief technical officer, design, Jason Bowen, took to the radio call-in programme Down To Brass Tacks yesterday following several calls from concerned citizens about the state of the completed road.

Many complained that the drains and manholes were below the road surface; that the road appeared uneven in certain areas and that the newly paved road flooded last Friday during heavy rainfall. (MB)
