The Ministry of Public Works on Thursday set up a temporary pedestrian walkway for residents of Eastville Housing Scheme, after the main bridge into the community collapsed under the weight of a loaded heavy-duty truck.
H.Nauth and Sons Civil Engineering Contractors, the firm responsible for the truck that was crossing the bridge when it caved in, helped to build the walkway. The engineering company has also taken up the responsibility to reconstruct the bridge.
Residents, however, remain incensed that they have to park their vehicles along the Annandale Railway Embankment. “There is no street lights to protect the vehicles at night… one little floodlight can’t light up the whole stretch of area where we have to park our cars,” a resident complained on
