The Min­istry of Works and Trans­port is ad­vis­ing that clean-up ef­forts are still on­go­ing along the Paria Main Road to re­store con­nec­tiv­i­ty and ve­hic­u­lar ac­cess to the Grande Riv­iere and Matelot com­mu­ni­ties, in the short­est pos­si­ble time­frame.

De­tails fol­low in this press re­lease from the MOWT:

The Min­istry of Works and Trans­port wish­es to pro­vide an up­date on the To­co and Paria Main Roads which were im­pass­able to ve­hic­u­lar traf­fic due to land­slips and flood­ing in the area.

Crews from the High­ways Di­vi­sion and Me­chan­i­cal Ser­vices Di­vi­sion were dis­patched last night and joined by the San­gre Grande Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion to­day, Thurs­day, 30th June, 2022.

Clean-up ef­forts are still on­go­ing to clear slush, and heavy de­bris along the Paria Main Road, to re­store con­nec­tiv­i­ty and ve­hic­u­lar ac­cess to the Grande Riv­iere and Matelot com­mu­ni­ties, in the short­est pos­si­ble time­frame.

Mem­bers of the gen­er­al pub­lic are en­cour­aged to ex­er­cise ex­treme cau­tion when tra­vers­ing the area, and all oth­er ar­eas where land­slips are prone, such as North Coast Road, and the La­dy Young Road.

The Min­istry of Works and Trans­port apol­o­gizes for any in­con­ve­nience caused and thanks the gen­er­al pub­lic for their pa­tience, and con­tin­ued co­op­er­a­tion. Please stay con­nect­ed to the Min­istry’s of­fi­cial plat­forms for up­dates on this mat­ter.
