After almost three years of construction, the first phase of Ring-Road was inaugurated on Wednesday afternoon, in the presence of Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam and the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Infrastructure Anil Bachoo before an audience of guests.

During his speech, the Prime Minister, Navin Ramgoolam, once again, reminded that despite the grunts for the introduction of penalty points, everyone will be treated the same sign as: "There will be one law for all. "PM then argued that a country can move forward" without modern infrastructure, "not without recalling that the project Rind Road cost Rs 1.3 billion. He also notes that the light-rail project moves forward without counting a bridge that will overlook the harbor of Port Louis.

Saying that "the public interest must take precedence over personal interest," Navin Ramgoolam has not failed to point out some major obstacles that have faced the authorities to get the green light for the construction of roads .

He has also reiterated the commitment of his government to reduce congestion that cause a loss of Rs 3 billion per year, without neglecting to specify the number of deaths on our roads because of fatal accidents. He, therefore, as stated in previous posts that these "traffic center" will be established for the education of motorists, motorcyclists and pedestrians.

Before taking the floor, the Minister of Public Infrastructure Anil Bachoo, has reviewed all work ranging from bridges and drains in the various districts of the island, arguing that "these places did not suffer flooding" .

A beautiful book but underused

4.5 miles long, the new ring road opened Wednesday, took off Soreze using a ramp connection at Montebello Guibies to reach the foot of the mountain where the development is planned tunnel. For now this wonderful book which makes discovering new landscapes is underutilized. It facilitates, through two roundabouts, access to the industrial area of ??Grewals, Domaine Straws, residential neighborhoods and industrial and straws and especially Swami Vivekananda Centre whose activities headlights ocassionnaient date of important plugs on the M1. This new approach could reduce these drawbacks.

But this new dual carriageway in both directions will be used to its optimum when the Ring Road Phase I will be connected through a tunnel in the mountain of Signals (Phase II) linking at Tranquebar a circular route that will towards the Quay D round Point north of Port-Louis (Phase III). And once the project is fully completed, which should take a few years, motorists from the South wishing to travel to the North and want to avoid the Place d'Armes and the center of Port-Louis will take the ramp up to Sorèze (opposite the Indian Oil petrol station) to reach the Ring Road. After they pass through the tunnel about five kilometers from the mountain Signals pass on the side of the Thumb, Tranquebar, Pitot Valley and Route Militaire. Before finally take the roundabout Quay D to move towards the north.

Phases II and III have not yet started. They will not be complete until at least two years. The second phase will therefore be in a tunnel more than 800 meters to join the region and a circular road a few kilometers between Tanquebar and Caudan roundabout. The work will be funded in partnership between the private sector and government is estimated at Rs 3.5 billion.
