SLRA boss says Phase II of road maintenance to kick off soon
Freetown, December 11 (SLENA) – The Acting Director General of the Sierra Leone Roads Authority (SLRA), Mr. Abdulali Aziz Kamara has revealed through this medium that come next week Phase II of road maintenance in the municipality of Freetown will kick off during which all major roads with potholes will be rehabilitated.
Mr. Kamara pointed out that some streets will be completely upgraded and paved to allow the free flow of vehicles, noting that all district headquarter town road projects will be completed in the not too distant future as contractors are on rehabilitation work.
Speaking on Phrase I and efforts to patch up the many potholes in the city of Freetown, the SLRA boss described it as a success as many streets within the country have been graded, thus enhancing the free flow of vehicles especially along the streets of Freetown.
Mr. Kamara noted that Phase II will target all major roads as well smaller streets in the country and appealed to the community people for their patience.
The Acting SLRA boss said all outstanding projects on roads construction are ongoing and that government is doing all in its power to complete them before the next raining season.

Dear Sirs,
I note with interest recent articles about the ongoing pothole problem in Sierra Leone.
Quikfix Holdings Limited is a British company with a local subsidiary, Quikfix (Sierra Leone) Limited.
We own a technologically-advanced road repair system which we introduced to several Ministers
and the senior staff of the Sierra Leone Road Authority in May 2012. This cold-mix system is able to repair
an average-size pothole in only 10 minutes (even in monsoon rains), can be driven over immediately
and does not require roads to be closed. it is currently proven in use in over 20 countries worldwide,
is accredited by major testing organisations and guaranteed for at least 5 years.
Unfortunately, although this word-beating technology is available and we have repeatedly asked the SLRA
to allow us to provide a turnkey “Supply and Apply” service throughout the country, our proposals await a
response.
Our local representative continues to seek an answer as to why our products and services are not being
considered, although we hope, one day, to commence manufacturing this remarkable product in Sierra
Leone where it is guaranteed to solve the pothole problem and, at the same time, employ a large
number of local people.
Regards and kind wishes.
Yours sincerely,
16th December 2013Philip D. Deighton,
Executive Chairman,
Quikfix Holdings Limited.
