The Chaguanas mayor as well as the president of the Chaguanas Chamber of Industry and Commerce (CCIC) have both raised concerns over the recently completed highway extension project done by the Ministry of Works and Transport. They are urging immediate action to address several critical issues.

A statement from Chaguanas Mayor Faaiq Mohammed said he wanted to observe the situation and hear from drivers who regularly use that road before commenting.

"There are some glaring issues that need to be addressed. Let's talk about the southbound lanes. Right now, we have a three-lane highway that suddenly narrows to two lanes on the flyover, only to widen back to three immediately afterwards," he said.
