Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill yesterday visited and inspected the ongoing construction of the Conversation Tree to Dennis Street four-lane road project, which a release from the ministry said is progressing rapidly.

During his visit, Edghill also assessed emergency remedial works at the junction of Dennis Street and Conversation Tree, as well as at the entrances to First Street.

The release said that  Edghill emphasized the importance of safety in this active construction zone, urging commuters to reduce their speed when driving through the area. He said that speed bumps are being installed at the entrances of First Street and Pike Street to enhance safety. Additionally, he noted that the extension of Delhi Street to Duncan Street is being upgraded to accommodate two-way traffic.

In response to numerous complaints,  Edghill is appealing to truck operators to keep their tailgates locked at all times, whether their trucks are full or empty. This measure is aimed at reducing noise pollution in the community and preventing materials from falling onto the roadways.
