Contractors for Black Bush Polder Road to fix damages – Region 6 Chm
The type of heavy-duty machines that is causing further damage to the road
Region Six Chairman David Armogan says contractors working to upgrade the Black Bush Polder Road will have to fix what they have broken, as they have been causing further damage to the road with the heavy-duty construction vehicles they are using.
Two contractors are currently engaged in carrying out repair works to sections of the Black Bush Polder main access road. However, in the process of doing so, their machinery is damaging sections of the thoroughfare.
Vehicles operators have expressed their concern, noting that the harvesting period will soon commence.

“The main road going into the Black Bush Polder is presently being done by the Ministry of Public Works. The two contractors are working going from the Lesbeholden end. The problem is that there are some big holes that have developed because of the big machines that are working in the Black Bush Polder area. I have asked the Ministry of Public Works, and the engineer who is responsible for the work there has given me a guarantee that those big holes will be filled,” Armogan stated on the matter.
The road work falls under the 2024 work programme. This year $15.95 billion has been allocated through the national budget for Region Six. Armogan says out of that sum, $1.24 billion will be spent on capital works.
The contractors have agreed to fix the parts of the road they have damaged with their vehicles.
