Linden-Mabura trail reopens to traffic

The Ministry of Public Works has reopened the Linden/Mabura trail to traffic following last week’s heavy rains which washed away a 30-foot section of the road and damaged several low- level culverts. The Ministry said cofferdams have since been built to facilitate to allow uninterrupted flow of water. It said too workers have reinstalled the damaged culverts in accordance with the scope of the emergency works. The contractor has indicated that the bypass as well as the previously washed-out section of the roadway can now be used. All works will be completed by Saturday, August 21. “We wish to remind the public that the Ministry remains committed to utilising all the resources available to ensure this situation is rectified in the shortest time possible,” the Ministry said in a statement.
