Deplorable state of West Front Road causing concern

The frustration of residents and bus drivers traversing the western end of West Front Road is mounting, as potholes in the road are developing into craters; increasing maintenance costs for motorists and posing a danger to pedestrians. The thoroughfare serves as an entry point for Route 47 minibuses into the West Ruimveldt area.
Reports pertaining to the poorly maintained roadway suggest that its condition deteriorated rapidly, with “small” potholes gradually growing and expanding over time across its entire width. It was noted that a month ago, the condition of the road was not as intolerable as it is now.

Drivers traverse the atrocious West Front Road.

Drivers of the Route 47 minibuses, voicing their concerns to this newspaper, are of the belief that inclement weather has contributed to a large extent to the constant deterioration of the roadway.
“It’s because of the rain and the street busy. Bus passing every minute… Due to that, every vehicle that go in causing the holes to get bigger and bigger,” one bus driver lamented.
