Heavy rainfall in Region Eight continues to delay the re-construction of the bridge at Tiger Creek which collapsed more than three weeks ago.
The bridge collapsed on November 3rd while a heavy-duty truck was crossing. No one was injured. At that time, the Regional Engineer Wendell St Pierre told the Department of Public Information (DPI) that from a preliminary assessment the bridge appears to have collapsed due to a damaged beam.
While the Ministry of Public Works (MoPW) had crafted a three-week timeline for the completion of emergency works on the bridge, works have been delayed repeatedly due to heavy rainfall in the area.
