Minister for Communications and Works, Hon Kye M. Rymer (R5), said the road will be partially closed from Great Mountain to facilitate these road works, in a video posted to his ministry’s Facebook page on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.

“The main purpose of this is we’ve seen over time this road becomes a river where the water keeps running down the road and damaging the road, so we intend to do some remedial work at this junction.”

The Minister said a drain will be placed to take water directly from the road into the ghut.

“The intent is to take the water off the road and prevent the water from going further down the street.”

Another project to improve drainage

Hon Rymer stated that this project on the Huntum’s Ghut road is yet another one in efforts to add drainage and get remedial road works done.

These works are all to ensure that excessive water is kept off the roads and are fed directly into the ghuts.
