PWD to Monitor 200 km of Roads Every 2-3 Days for Better Maintenance

23 Aug 2024 CW Team

In a bid to improve road quality and maintenance, the Public Works Department (PWD) has directed its officials to inspect 200 kilometers of roadways every 2-3 days. This new protocol aims to ensure that road conditions are regularly checked and any issues are promptly addressed.

The directive is part of a comprehensive plan to enhance the durability and safety of roads. Regular inspections will help identify problems such as potholes, surface wear, and structural damage before they develop into more severe issues. The increased monitoring frequency is expected to lead to more timely repairs and better overall road conditions.

PWD officials will use a combination of manual inspections and technological tools to conduct these checks. The initiative underscores the department's commitment to maintaining high standards of road infrastructure and improving travel safety for commuters.

By implementing this rigorous monitoring schedule, the PWD aims to address road maintenance challenges proactively and ensure that the road network remains in optimal condition. This approach reflects a growing emphasis on preventive maintenance to enhance the longevity and safety of road infrastructure.
