And from the deep south to the far north - work on the Taiwan - funded Sarteneja road started under the UDP and continues under the Briceno Administration.
And yesterday the PM visited the area to see the road works.
When the press asked him what he saw there, he proposed a very out of the box solution to a chronic problem that he says no previous government or their engineers have been able to fix:
Hon. John Briceno - Prime Minister
"Yes, unfortunately, successive governments have tried to fix that road unfortunately previous governments spent excessive amounts of money to be able to fix it and it's sinking. And I think it seems that the only way we'll be able to fix that section and I'm no engineer so please I'm not pretending to be one but it seems that we may have to consider piling into the ground and then to be able to have the road almost like a causeway but a causeway is when you go all the way up but just onto the ground and so that it continues and we stop the sinking. It's going to be expensive but at the end of the day, I think there's no other way because the minute you fix it goes down again. So millions of dollars have gone down the drain so maybe we may have to just bite the bullet and find a way to get it done."
