Two days earlier, the minister had made similar remarks by the Prime Minister during the inauguration of the Quartier-Militaire/Belle-Rive road. He pointed out that such problems may occur on a site of this type, while the Head of Government deplored the opposition criticism about these cracks.
Sources close to the Ministry of Public Infrastructure indicate that the consortium has conducted studies of the soil before the construction of this road 4.3 km which cost almost a billion rupees to taxpayers. So that if there was structural damage, especially during the warranty period, the manufacturer is to undertake repairs.
In the case of the cracked section, Rehm-Grinaker and Colas were first built a retaining wall on the sides of the mountain Moka says on the department. It remains to determine whether this is a landslide caused by recent rain that put this road in such a pitiful state.
Meanwhile the famous report on this issue, Rehm-Grinaker considers that its responsibility is not engaged. The company is awaiting the results of tests on the cracks to explain his client, the Road Development Authority (RDA).
The Ring Road had already caused controversy in February and March 2013: at the height of flooding, water cascading down the mountain had accumulated in the region of straws crossing the highway. Many people have pointed to the work on this site, but the authorities have not provided any explanation for this phenomenon so far.
During the press conference of the MMM-MSM alliance yesterday, Paul Bérenger referred to the significant investments in the purchase of land before the start of the project, and asked to open an investigation into these land transactions. The opposition leader has not failed to draw a parallel between this site and that of the Bagatelle Dam. Built at a cost of Rs 3.3 billion, it could not be created because of the porous soil on the site chosen for this project.
