Following a recent road traffic incident along the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway near the Corinth Overpass, Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, Senator Eli Zakour, visited the area to oversee the assessment of enhanced safety measures.
The Minister was joined by senior technical officials including Adande Piggott, Chief Traffic Engineer at the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation, Sharaz Hosein, Civil Engineer of the Highways Division, Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, and Police Road Safety Project Coordinator, Sergeant Brent Batson.
During the visit, the team conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the site to identify areas for improvement and to ensure that corrective actions are undertaken swiftly. The Ministry emphasised that this initiative aligns with the Government’s broader commitment to maintaining safe and efficient roadways through infrastructure upgrades, inter-agency collaboration, and continued public awareness.
The visit forms part of a continued, coordinated multi-agency effort to strengthen road safety standards across the national road network.
Most recently, the Ministry installed new safety barriers along the San Fernando Hill roadway as part of its ongoing national road safety programme.
