Construction work on a Canvas City, Linden, road which was halted by several persons dissatisfied with the design has resumed, prompting Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill, to declare his intolerance to any disruptions to such works.
A release yesterday from the Ministry of Public Works stated that the works were stopped on Sunday by persons described as being “politically motivated.” It was reported that some residents, along with senior officials from the mayor’s office allegedly bullied and intimidated the work crew on site in Canvas City, and caused the work to stop because they were not in agreement with the road project design.
The Canvas City concrete road under construction will measure 367 metres in length, with a width of 6.1 metres, and upon completion will link Canvas City and Block 22, Wismar.
