The Ministry of Public Works, in a Public Service Announcement, said effective immediately all truck drivers are required to use the main road and refrain from using the Railway Embankment corridor.
Canters, buses, and cars are exempt from this notice.
According to the ministry it has been persistently repairing bridges along the Railway Embankment due to damage caused by heavy trucks. Further, the situation has become untenable, as the continued use of these bridges by heavy trucks is damaging the infrastructure and adversely affecting the lives of residents and other road users.
