Bartica town council to look at restrictions on heavy-duty vehicles

One of the roads in Bartica that is impassable during the rainy season.

Some of Bartica’s major roads are slated to be repaired and Mayor Gifford Marshall says the Town Council will be looking towards limiting their use by heavy-duty vehicles.

The Ministry of Public of Infrastructure (MPI) recently invited bids for the rehabilitation and construction of several roads in Region Seven.

Marshall said the work is very welcomed as the roads in town have been in a bad condition for years.

“Presently our roads are in a deplorable state and mainly because of the extreme weather we have had over the past few months, so we made some representation at the Town Council level for the government to intervene and provide the necessary resources,” Marshall said.
