Although rehabilitation works are due to start on the dilapidated Leguan Stelling sometime this year, the Ministry of Public Infrastructure has been forced to mobilise for emergency repair works after the stelling’s low ramp broke on Monday.
According to a release from the Ministry, it was brought to their attention that piles from the stelling’s low ramp broke, resulting in it being inaccessible to passengers.
As a result, the statement said, a team from the Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD) comprising engineers has since been dispatched to the island to assess the damage the stelling has incurred, and the matter is being treated “with extreme urgency” as they are currently sourcing the materials for the repairs.
