Dennis Street collapses under cement truck’s weight

…repairs begin, 14-day closure announced

The Public Works Ministry is swiftly moving to repair a section of Dennis Street, Georgetown, which collapsed on Wednesday, reportedly under the weight of a cement truck.
Minister Juan Edghill explained that an assessment will be conducted to determine the extent of the damage and, more so, what led to the collapse of the roadway.
In addition, he stated, based on the feedback and the findings, whichever entity is liable will have to cover the expenses associated with the repairs.
Meanwhile, in a statement, the Public Works Ministry has advised that the affected area will be temporarily closed to facilitate urgent reinstatement works.
The works commenced on Wednesday and will last for 14 days.
“Please note that the Dennis & Middleton Street intersection will be closed for 14 days starting September 10, 2025, to facilitate urgent works,” the Ministry noted.
As such, motorists and pedestrians are urged to exercise caution, adhere to all directional signage, and use alternative routes where possible.
