Juan Edghill, Minister of Public Works, yesterday morning visited several infrastructural projects in Region 3. Among them recently completed roads at Naamryck Backdam.
There, the Minister instructed that the contractor correct the asphaltic concrete pavement to meet the standards and technical specifications outlined in the contract, a release from the ministry said. This will be done at no additional cost to the Ministry.
“This cannot be accepted the way it is. This has failed the test so this got to be used as a levelling course and now you got to get proper, quality asphalt for the entire road, and we got to finish this up before next week Wednesday. Whenever we do work in any community, one thing we have in mind is the people. The beneficiaries are the ultimate goal, their satisfaction,” Edghill stated.
