Days af­ter a por­tion of the North Coast Road col­lapsed fol­low­ing heavy rains ear­li­er this week, a Bai­ley Bridge has been suc­cess­ful­ly in­stalled to fa­cil­i­tate mo­torists.

Of­fi­cials of the Min­istry of Works and Trans­port com­plet­ed the work yes­ter­day, fol­low­ing which Min­is­ter Ro­han Sinanan said it could now ac­com­mo­date two lanes of traf­fic.

The land slip­page had led to on­ly one lane of traf­fic be­ing able to flow at a time, prompt­ing of­fi­cials to ad­vise vis­i­tors to ex­er­cise re­straint and stay away from the beach­es.

Al­though the road has re­opened, of­fi­cials are urg­ing peo­ple to re­main vig­i­lant and ex­er­cise cau­tion.
