THE GOVERNMENT’S emergency pothole patching programme hit a major bump yesterday.
Project manager at the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW), Roland Daisley, told the DAILY NATION operations were halted when the asphalt manufacturing plant at C.O. Williams Construction in Lears, St Michael, broke down.
As a result, he said the four trucks that were dispatched in St Michael districts could not source a second load of asphalt to complete their work. The trucks could transport between three to six tonnes of asphalt, he said.
“The plant broke down before midday for sure. It affected the operation because each truck was trying to get another load of mix. We were supposed to go back after lunch to get another load to continue patching.” (LT)
