In an effort to alleviate the problems faced by miners traversing several hinterland roads, Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson yesterday said that weight restriction systems are currently being put in place.
Patterson made the announcement to the National Assembly in response to questions posed by PPP/C member Juan Edghill about the condition of several hinterland roads.
Acknowledging that there was an issue with overweight trucks, he informed that the ministry was able to procure three automated scales, which will be deployed in several areas.
