Trinidads first true tunnel road to be a TOLL?

[RIPEBREDFRUIT]

So rumours abound that this new toll road under development in Trinidad will be a Tunnel.
Starting somewhere in East Trinidad around barataria, and coming out somewhere around the savannah, St Anns/ maraval vicinity.

Woohoo- yes ill pay to use that!

[troublemaker]

Op u serious? Barataria is east nw? Or u meant east of the lighthouse :/

[GRIM]

Both me and you will be dead long before anything like that is built in trinidad..

[j.o.e]

Save your toll money in an account and leave it there for your grandchildren to use

[Daran]

Rumours are indeed true. This will be part of the "election" budget.

However there will be an exit point somewhere near the stadium as well. Toll is expected to start at $5TT.

Can't they develop a mass rapid transit first and alleviate the problems for the non driving traveling public.

They will do that when the whole of Trinidad becomes a road.

Sometimes I really wonder where these people went to school

While I agree Trinidad needs more alternate routes...this makes no sense. If I had to build any new roads/highways...build one bussing thru Caroni swamp environs and following the shoreline straight into POS. Mind you mine is just an idea with no proper planning etc......but so is theirs.

There are extensive engineering studies conducted on this since the 1980s. Some of the Civil Engineering men in here maybe have access to them. However if you think Kubs and them kicking a fuss bout building through the south wetlands imagine what will happen if you try to go through the Caroni swamp.

^^^^ true about the environmental backlash....I'm just considering which plan puts a bigger dent in traffic and help in terms of evacuations etc

[ismithx]

and just why do we need this tunnel now?

[moti]

Oh tunnel!

My carbs will sound awesome in that there tunnel.

Now back to the drawing board people, make one from Maracas to San Juan instead.

[janfar]

Just decentralize POS so ppl don't have to go there for a stupid piece of paper...

[jusme]

traffic above ground > traffic in tunnel

Why not? Depends on how much the toll. And Maracas beach NEED another access road. if there's a tsunami, as it stand now yuh have to run like firetruck and climb the mountain into Santa Cruz.

[desifemlove]

Another ting, I ent no environmentalist, but i doh tink they should cut through the mountains. only ting wit tunnel is dat earthquakes. or evacuations if somebody get sick/ill in transit. UNC or even PNM need to figure all them things out.

[pete]

Someone show them this video nah.

Can you imagine the immensity of fyazz that shall be geed inside that tunnel?

Of course, and I expect to see some random threads here about tunnel runs at 2 in the morning etc.

[moti]

What will be epic fail though is if they build a two lane tunnel

[Trini Hookah]

goar fadda is all da sense u go make?

[desifemlove]

I thought UNC wanted to move some ministries to Chaguanas? doh see why dat causing a stink, POS is the biggest piece ah sheit out...

second only to Sanfernando Yup!

[kual]

Same way they wanted to build a tunnel through Tunapuna to Maracas Bay. Was any planning done for that or is it just Election gimmick.

[S_2NR]

A tunnel to maracas would be awesome

we have a bus route... what's ur point?... Trinidad is a case of poor decisions and leadership, enhanced by political choices. Where the leadership just tries to hold on to power long enough to eat ah food for as long as they can...

Only by name is our bus route a "bus route". Private vehicles legal and illegal far outnumber buses.
