In Livingstone, Many dusty and bad roads were upgraded to bituminous level. From a bumpy to a quite smooth road. Journeys were made shorter and vehicles could finally breath a sigh of relief.
The cost of shoddy and unprofessional workmanship is quickly eroding the good works that might have been.
- The roads were made too narrow, a contrast with the high population density in the areas
- Footpaths/Sidewalks were only made on one side of the road, contrary to road safety measures for pedestrians and cyclists.
- Cyclists were not considered.
- Deep drainages were buried in preference for....I dont know
- No layby for the many taxis Livingstone is endowed with.
- The 'tarmac' is too 'thin' and of very low quality. Very uneven surface
- Drifters are now damaging the side roads as the waters drift heavily unto them.
You make the road and when the rain comes you realise there's no drainage. So, what do you do? You break what you made, you dig, more jobs for you |
The drainage/water drifter leads into a side road. Now the gravel side road is eaten up. Barricades put to prevent water from draining out! Disaster! Livingstone |
