The Cunapo Southern Main Road near Charuma Village, Biche remains blocked to vehicular traffic after a 10-wheeler truck transporting a crane tilted after attempting to navigate a sharp turn on the roadway.
Member of Parliament for Cumito/Manzanilla, Dr. Rai Ragbir, confirmed the incident occurred on Sunday at around 5pm. He said 24 hours after the incident, the road remains blocked as an excavator brought in to remove the truck and crane was unsuccessful.
MP Ragbir is advising commuters traversing to Rio Claro from Biche to use the route of Manzanilla to Mayaro to Rio Claro.
The MP says schools such as Biche Presbyterian and Biche Secondary are being most affected as students are currently engaged in end of term exams.
Mr. Ragbir says he is in contact with the authorities and will provide updates and a time-frame as to when the roadway will be cleared.
