The much-hyped $475 million Cemetery Road rehabilitation project has finally limped to its conclusion after two years with many delays but there are signs of poor and incomplete work which could pose hazards to users.
The road’s convergence from two lanes to a single lane at Princes Street is already causing gridlock during rush hours based on observations made by Stabroek News and road users. The road’s alignment and its narrowness at this crucial intersection create dangerous blind spots.
The bridges have been criticised by local engineers who spoke with SN. Steel reinforcements sticking out from the bridge foundations are not just an aesthetic flaw; they pose a significant risk of corrosion, leading to cracks and potential collapse in the future.
