-pipeline to be run under Rupert Craig Highway

The Liliendaal pump station, initially set for completion in April this year, remains unfinished and a pipeline is to be run under the Rupert Craig Highway to enable drainage to the sea.

During a site visit yesterday, the Sunday Stabroek observed that the road on the northern side of the Liliendaal highway has started to slope. Contractors on site reported that a major underground pipeline is currently being installed, a process expected to take approximately two weeks. No comment was provided regarding the perceptible depression in a part of the road. There has been extensive earth works in the vicinity.
