The Ministry of Works and Transport (MOWT) is informing the public of ongoing slope stabilization works in the vicinity of LP #1999A, 96 Km mark along the Southern Main Road, Chatham.
The Ministry said the scope of this project is to stabilize both failed slopes (Northern and Southern sides) by the construction of two (2) reinforced concrete retaining walls on piles. The Southern wall will be constructed first, as this will facilitate the construction of a utility corridor (wide concrete channel) for the placement of water-mains. Once the Southern wall and the utility corridor is completed, the MOWT and the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) would co-ordinate efforts to relocate the water-mains from the Northern side to the Southern side of the roadway. Thereafter, the Northern wall will be constructed and the full width of the road restored to allow for the normal flow of traffic. The Ministry notes that after installation of shoring (Southern side), construction work on the Southern side of the landslip was expected to commence on Tuesday 2nd August 2022. However, due to the inclement weather over the last few weeks, additional movement along the roadway and downslope was observed. “This situation has made it difficult for the contractor to proceed with on-going works,” the Ministry said. Works are scheduled to commence from today (Monday 22nd August 2022) with a completion date of November 2022. The MOWT, WASA and project contractor will continue to work together to maintain vehicular access and a schedule for the supply of water to the community. Considering the above, motorists are advised to comply with the following:
