The Ministry of Public Works today informed all truck drivers that, effective immediately, they are required to use the main road and refrain from using the Railway Embankment corridor.
In a statement, the Ministry said it has been persistently repairing bridges along the Railway Embankment due to damage caused by heavy trucks.
“This situation has now become untenable, as the continued use of these bridges by heavy trucks is not only damaging the infrastructure but also adversely affecting the lives of residents and other road users”, the ministry said.
Canters, buses, and cars are exempt from this notice.
