PHOTO: Asphalt Paving Continues in Collins as Ministry of Works Advances Road Upgrades

The Ministry of Works has announced substantial progress in its ongoing infrastructure modernization initiative with the completion of another critical segment of asphalt surfacing in the Collins area. This development forms part of the government’s comprehensive ‘#BetterRoads’ campaign aimed at enhancing transportation infrastructure and commuter safety nationwide.

Construction crews are currently executing final paving operations, requiring temporary traffic management protocols. Officials have implemented a designated by-pass lane to maintain traffic flow while ensuring worker safety. Motorists are strongly advised to exercise heightened caution, reduce speeds, and adhere to all posted signage when navigating the construction zone.

The ‘#WorksOnTheMove’ initiative represents a strategic investment in public infrastructure that promises improved road durability, reduced vehicle maintenance costs, and enhanced driving conditions for residents and commercial transporters alike. This project aligns with the broader ‘#PanDeWuk’ national development framework seeking to upgrade critical infrastructure across all regions.

Transportation engineers confirm that the new asphalt surface will provide superior weather resistance and longer service life compared to previous road conditions. The Ministry will continue monitoring the completed section during the curing process before fully reopening the road to regular traffic patterns.
