THE EDITOR: For some time now there has been a huge puddle of water just opposite the Central Market, which could not drain off for one reason or other. So, you had drivers either splashing water on the windshields of other vehicles, as those with 4-by-4s felt it adventurous to drive through without slowing. When the water hits the windshield of a car, the driver is blinded for a few seconds, but no one cares about that. Also, the joints of the Beetham flyover are no longer covered by asphalt, leaving deep gashes across the road. Maybe that's caused by the settling water or the volume of traffic. However, someone seems to have had a bright idea to cover it with a small "hill" of oil sand, so we now have a hump that gives your car a nice bump of maybe a inch or two in the air. Humpty Dumpty, if you will. Happy humping or bumping, if you please. And so with the rains, these humps/bumps have now become dislodged and clumps of material and bits of iron are scattered. Drivers have to slow down, risking being rear-ended by errant van drivers who have no issue in "slamming" through. You now have an obstacle course of holes, turns, gashes, debris, water, oil slick. Oh what fun (sigh, SMH). Mayor Chinua Alleyne, Mr Minister of Works and Transport, there is a serious situation happening here. Maybe when you fly to work in your helicopter you can pass over, because I can't believe that you or anyone in the mayor's office or the ministry drove on this flyover headache and pretended not to see anything, and simply dismissed it as just another of the thousands of potholes, dig-ups, dig-ins, patches, filings, etc which plague the nation. Don't wait to be sued for causing an accident on an unsafe road. LINDA CAPILDEO St James The post Danger on Beetham flyover appeared first on Trinidad and Tobago Newsday.
