THE northbound carriageway on the Mosquito Creek is not open for traffic.
This according to Minister of Works and Transport Rohan Sinanan in answer to an Urgent Question by Opposition Senator Wade Mark in the Senate on Tuesday.
Mark asked Sinanan about arrangements to ensure that commuters are not negatively affected after part of the roadway collapsed on Mosquito Creek.
Sinanan said, “Within the ongoing construction zones of the 2.4 km north-bound carriageway an allocation of 180 metres failure zones had occurred.
“However, this construction was not completed and has not been open to traffic and therefore does not create an impact for the existing flow of traffic at the Mosquito Creek.”
He maintained that it did not pose any immediate threat to vehicular traffic on the south trunk road users.
Sinanan explained that the construction of Mosquito Creek incorporated 2.4 kilometres of Northbound and Southbound carriageways.
In addition, approximately two kilometres of the southbound carriageway has been successfully opened to traffic since 2019.
