The bad state of the road located at a critical junction contributes to major congestion in Bridgetown on a daily basis.

A few weeks (October 23, 2023) ago Barbados Underground highlighted sloppy road works done by government agencies in Bridgetown to do with gas works – Tackling incompetence. Up to this week at the corner of the Treasury Building turning West down Wharf Road there is a most worrying deterioration of the road due to the lack of repair to NPC work in the area dating back to October 2023.

The bad state of the road located at a critical junction contributes to major congestion in Bridgetown on a daily basis. Is it too much to ask for authorities to do their rh jobs?

    ” Potholes in higher speed roads and high-volume roads are repaired more quickly than ones on side streets
    On the busiest roads, the City repairs potholes in four days from the date they are reported
    On side streets, the City has 30 days to repair potholes”

    I suspect the product class referred to is Perma Zyme or similar (soil stabilizers)
    This was used on a project I was involved with several years ago.
    It works best in arid climates.
    One hint, it makes an interesting cricket pitch.

    Potholes are as much a part of Barbados as rum and sunshine. Anyone who criticises anything here is insulting our national pride.

    And by the way: many locals like potholes. They help wake you up in the morning on the way to work after a long night out.

    Tuning up my voice
    Do ra me fa so la te do

    Looking at ‘Pothole’ and ‘Driver’ it appears that the blogmaster now believes that he can shame Barbadians into doing what is right.

    If this is the case, then I can tell him, that having a sound and full understanding of my countrymen, this course is a dead end and doomed to failure. Putting money in a Ponzi scheme would be more fruitful.

    @Donna
    Have you noticed that we have not been graced with the writings of AG?

    I would like to believe that the blogmaster saw the light and tuned out his nothingness.

    Whoa! TheO
    You seem a bit grumpy …

    Old water mains giving us licks. It is a major undertaking to replace all of them in quick order, especially the random development that has occurred under both administrations.

    A few weeks ago a major water problem affected the south coast which resulted in some guests asking to be checked out of affected hotels.

    It was good to see that even Hants has a devil in him.

    The Barbados government needs a maintenance and repair czar.
