Residents of the East Coast of Demerara and drivers who frequently traverse the Embankment Road are calling on the authorities to urgently repair bridges that have developed large potholes and other faults.
Stabroek News visited the bridges that are located at various villages along the Embankment Road from Liliendaal to Enmore where it was noticed that most of them had developed large potholes and other structural problems that left the metal plates on the base of the bridge exposed to the weather and traffic.
While the holes varied in size and shape, some of them were so large that they occupied an entire lane of the two-lane bridge, which resulted in traffic being forced to use one lane. Some of the holes had also developed in the middle of the bridge and forced the traffic to veer to the edges of the road, which residents say has caused numerous minor accidents.
