A couple of months ago, during the opening of the Mike Espat Bridge, engineer from the Ministry of Infrastructure Development and Housing stated on record that the Southern Highway would soon be painted. Not long after, the Toledo East Area Representative also mentioned that the highway would be both painted and lighted. Well, we are happy to report that after months of waiting, the work has finally begun. PGTV has always been reminding the government of their obligation to do the right thing. They promised to paint and they never paint but PGTV keep reminding them. After many reminders the road is now getting painted. On Friday October 17th, road workers were seen painting sections of the Southern Highway. A much-needed improvement that will help enhance visibility and reduce the risk of accidents, especially at night. This stretch of road has not been painted for more than 15 years. PGTV welcomes this important development aimed at making travel safer for all motorists.
