GUARDIAN ME­DIA NEWS­ROOM

The Min­istry of Works and Trans­port says it has re­paired—ahead of sched­ule—the sink­hole on the south­bound lane of the Uri­ah But­ler High­way, near Grand Bazaar.

In a Face­book post the Min­istry said the road is now ful­ly ac­ces­si­ble.

Last week, a sink­hole ap­peared in the area, dam­ag­ing ve­hi­cles as un­sus­pect­ing dri­vers drove over it.

Videos shared on so­cial me­dia showed good Samar­i­tans try­ing to alert dri­vers ini­tial­ly un­til the Min­istry stepped in the next morn­ing to close the road and be­gin re­pairs.

The road was closed on Fri­day and Sat­ur­day to al­low for the re-con­struc­tion works.
