| Section near Junction |
Last Saturday residents of High Road in Laborie
village welcomed the rumblings of tractors, loaders and 16 wheeler buses as the
surface of the road was being scraped off to make way for a new asphalted
covering. This is part of the Banse/La Haut and Laborie Village Main Road Project.
The stretch of road in question starts from the junction
entering Laborie from Choiseul, to the
Laborie Bridge. This is the first phase.
This High Road, over the years, has been a source
of concern for both motorists and pedestrians alike………a myriad of pot holes, poor
drainage and narrowness in some areas.

One of the main concerns of the engineers has been
the reconfiguration of the disrupted pipelines after the grading of the surface.
Wasco has contracted the services of Peter’s Plumbing Construction to rectify
all broken pipelines.
Later this week sub-base material will be placed on the graded surface and compacted. The whole process leading up to laying of
asphalt - sub-basin, basing, and asphalting, may take up to two to three weeks for completion.
A shop owner gleefully thanked those responsible for the works and she hopes that with the upgrade of the road business will catch up. "Vehicles don't pass here anymore, they make all the round to go into the Village. Thank God for Rayneau!" She cried out.
