Pothole patched on recently repaired Thomas Lands

The pothole that recently developed along the rehabilitated 200-metre portion of the Thomas Lands road has been repaired.

Stabroek News on Saturday observed that a second layer of asphalt and tar had been placed by contractor Pooran Manman and Sons Company to patch it.

“Them (the government) didn’t pay no money fuh the asphalt because of this section and we believe, that based on my engineers, that this slipping come from the shoulder (while pointing to the two sides of the road)…we are not sure because they still doing observation and checks on what was really the cause of the slipping,” said the company’s Manager, Pooran Manman, last Wednesday when he was asked if the entire sum of money was paid to his company under the contract for the project.
