Roads Under Pressure

Bishop Juan Edghill, Minister of Public Works, held a crucial meeting with contractors in Region Four, where extending project timelines was the main topic—but not at the expense of further damaging roads. With 28 out of 34 projects getting approved extensions, the focus shifted to enforcing truck weight limits to protect infrastructure. Heavy, overloaded trucks are causing serious wear, prompting strict new measures: any truck over the limit gets impounded for two weeks, no exceptions. More scales are being installed nationwide, including in Lethem soon, to catch violations. Contractors offered practical solutions like monitoring stations and quarry checks, which the Minister welcomed. He also warned of upcoming crackdowns in Region Three on illegal sites and ended by urging cooperation—before enforcement becomes unavoidable.
