And while drivers in the city may have some ease in the week ahead, so might cane farmers in the Corozal District. After out expose on the sugar roads on Monday, and with village council elections looming, government has been scrambling to come up with answers for sugar roads which are in a disastrous condition.
Today CEO in the Ministry of Works Mike Tewes confirmed to 7NEWS that he met with Fruta Bomba representatives and the company has agreed to help. As we've told you Fruta Bomba uses heavy duty military type trucks that are able to traverse the roads even when they are wet. This is what creates the massive ruts that we've shown you.
Well now, Tewes says Fruta Bomba has committed equipment and manpower to help fix those roads. Fruta Bomba will provide one truck and a driver, as well as material. Meanwhile the Ministry of Works crew will continue grading and upkeep of the roads. The bad news is that the rains continue in the north, and this continues to slow progress.
