The eroded section of the Hauraruni Access Road, which was completed just months ago, will be repaired by the contractor, Khemraj Nauth and Sons Contracting under the Defects Liability clause of the contract, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday said.

Stabroek News understands that the road was constructed in late 2020 but eroded after heavy rainfall and poor drainage on the thoroughfare.

Edghill yesterday said that the contractor and engineers from his ministry are expected to meet at the site today to conduct an assessment and come up with a design of the works needed to be done.
