The Ministry of Public Works and Environment says repair teams will begin filling potholes tomorrow and through the weekend, following persistent rainfall that has caused road defects to reappear across the island.
The Ministry of Public Works and Environment is advising motorists that crews will resume pothole repair work tomorrow and continue through the weekend, as weather conditions are expected to improve.
Persistent rainfall has caused a number of potholes to reappear across the road network. Road assessments are continuing throughout the week to identify and mark locations ahead of repairs, with a working list being compiled for repair teams and follow-up reporting to track completion.
Minister of Public Works and Environment, the Hon. Jaché Adams, JP, MP, said: “The recent rainfall has caused a number of potholes to reopen across the Island, and the Ministry is putting measures in place to respond in a focused and practical way.”
“Urgent repairs and assessments are being carried out across the road network during the week so repair teams can move quickly on the identified locations once conditions allow,” Minister Adams added.
The Ministry is also reminding motorists to exercise caution, particularly during and after periods of rain, as wet conditions can worsen existing road defects and reduce the visibility of potholes.
Members of the public are encouraged to report potholes by emailing potholes@gov.bm or by using the Government’s GovAlert app.
