COMMUTER COMPLAIN OF BAD ROUTE IN VAI TOWN, LIBERIA

Residents of Vai town in Liberia has complained about the bad route from downtown Monrovia en route to the Freeport of Monrovia.

The bad nature of the route keep increasing as commuter complained regularly. However, in bid to tackle this problem, Public Works Minister Mabutu Nyenpan, Minister of State Nathaniel McGill and Finance and Economic Planning Minister Samuel Tweah toured round the area as construction activities kick-off.

According to Nyenpan, ”Some sections of the road have been stabilised. More efforts are now concentrated in the Freeport-Belimah area and within 48 hrs that section will be passable, without the current discomforting hassle. Pavement will then follow.” While also stating that the COVID – 19 has had a paralysing effect on the progress of Road rehabilitation works.

Nypenpan also acknowledged that the drainage system along the corridor is in a state of near collapse, that they are working to resuscitate the system to ensure long term durability of the road corridor.

One of the resident Stephen Williams said “How will you fix road during rainy season? This does not even make sense to a kindergarten student. You can’t continue to contribute to situations that continue to suffer your own people.

Meanwhile, as the ministry is faced with public pressure as well as confused traffic conditions, Nypenpan has promised to ensure the rehabilitation of major roads in Monrovia and its environs during the dry season.
