Sorry for the double post but I posted this before we got our own subforum. I think it belongs in this thread. As you can see they have a great deal of work to do still till the interchange is finished. Can't wait.

Thanks for finding this i've been looking for it for a while since it used to be on the EMA website have you got anymore. What i don't understand is the A-E segment according to the key to the left of the page is stated to be 4 lane signalized(i assume means traffic lights etc- not sure though) yet it has grade separated structures(i.e interchanges etc)? I'm pretty sure the government knows not to put traffic lights on a highway after the mess that is the Churchill-Roosevelt highway so I remain hopeful. Thanks for the update has any actual work started yet? As this was developed in 2007.

Sorry that's all I've got. I guess it may be too expensive to put interchanges at all junctions. There was plans to build this highway since I left Trinidad and that was 1997!!! I hope the MOWT website will back soon with all the information.

Trini1 · May 16th, 2009, 06:53 PM

Oh ok thats fine and yeh i'm waiting for the MOWT website to be back on too but its taking long!!!! its been like that from probably late last year.

The highway was originally named the Princess Margaret Highway and was constructed in 1958. It was extended and renamed for labour leader Tubal Uriah Butler in 1988.

The Churchill-Roosevelt Highway is the major east-west highway in Trinidad and Tobago. It runs for 24 km (15 miles) from Barataria in the west (where it joins the Beetham Highway) to Wallerfield in the east (south of Arima) where it ends in the former US Army base on Fort Reid. It crosses the north-south Uriah Butler Highway at Valsayn. Constructed during World War II to connect the US Army base with Port of Spain, the highway was named for the two wartime leaders, Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Construction began in December 1941 and was completed in March 1942. Originally reserved for the US forces, the road was turned over to the Government of Trinidad and Tobago on October 24, 1949.

Trini1 · June 29th, 2009, 09:13 PM

Can someone please tell me when they plan to bring back the ministry of works and transport website. Its been down for a very long time!

TrininMD · July 1st, 2009, 02:01 AM

Hi Trini1, You were asking about the Gov't of the Rep. of Trinidad and Tobago, Ministry of Works website. The National Infrastructure Development Company Limited (NIDCO) website contains the information you have been requesting.

Trini1 · July 3rd, 2009, 01:07 PM

Thank you for that website. i always look at NIDCO hoping that there would be some more detail and at least some illustrations but they don't have like the highway projects.

Trini2D Bone · July 15th, 2009, 06:45 AM

Any word on when the final phase of the interchange project is supposed to begin? It's been over two months since they opened the second phase. Like, Trini1 I always check NIDCO's website but they never have anything substantial (imagine they have up now that the final phase has been completed).

And any news on the start date of interchange at El Socorro/Aranguez would be much appreciated as well. If I'm not mistaken, the contract was awarded to Vinci earlier this year.
