Zakour says plans being developed to tackle traffic gridlock

Trans­port and Civ­il Avi­a­tion Min­is­ter Eli Za­k­our says his min­istry is work­ing on ini­tia­tives to ad­dress traf­fic con­ges­tion but could not pro­vide de­tails of the plans.

Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia af­ter the in­au­gur­al flight of Con­tour Air­lines’ Trinidad and To­ba­go–Do­mini­ca ser­vice at Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port on Mon­day night, Za­k­our re­ferred to the grid­lock caused by sev­er­al road ac­ci­dents along the Churchill-Roo­sevelt High­way in late Sep­tem­ber.

The ac­ci­dents left mo­torists trapped in traf­fic for up to four hours in some cas­es.
