Churchill Roosevelt Highway Extension to Manzanilla (CRHEM) Project.

Aripo savannah will be fine.. not like they destroying it.. we need this highway! allyuh acting like allyuh care about the environment now.. when allyuh flinging yuh bottles and wrappers out d window.

How will the savannah not be destroyed if the highway is being constructed through it??

Valencia stretch.. yuh see any of d forest damaged? what sheit yuh asking me? a lil highway ain't gonna cause harm to anything.

So this highway just gonna magically appear THROUGH the aripo savannah without destroying it’s natural ecosystem?
You do know that the savannah was declared an environmentally sensitive area!

Baboon. We here in Trinidad eh rly business but environment . Our ema are toothless dogs in any event. So before yuh end up on the wrong side of a monkey hand pelau.....know wha yuh doing

Isn't the goal to put a ferry terminal in Toco? So right now the roads may be adequate for current traffic but if you add that increase they won't be able to cope.

Exactly.

If the ferry terminal moves to Toco, the distance traveled will drop from 161 kms to 46 kms. You will cut the time to travel by at least half and the number of trips possible per ferry will double. The cost to carry goods will drop and the number of people likely to travel will likely increase.

All of the traffic that is heading in to POS for the ferry starts driving through Sangre Grande. You need a road. (And the traffic in Port of Spain improves.)

That idea is for the Valencia to Toco highway which is carded for April 2018. This highway is different and separate.

StreetbeastInc and Daran are correct, no need to build this highway at the moment. Fix the roads and deal with squatters. Priority should be the Valencia to Toco highway since that makes sense if you are planning to build a Toco Port/Ferry service (multipurpose) and develop the tourism sector of the area.

My error in the last paragraph.

Traffic will be heading through Valencia and slowing traffic flow to Sangre Grande.

I won't debate priorities but a bypass to Sangre Grande looks more than logical.

Then where would cars go after travelling 100km/h down from Toco to Valencia? Just back to the existing roads? The opening of a port and the Toco-Valencia highway is bound to increase traffic by a substantial amount. The existing roads may not be able to handle that volume of traffic. So while I agree a highway is not needed all the way to Manzanilla I do believe the first segment from Cumuto junction bypassing Grande and ending at the proposed commencement site of the Toco-Valencia highway is needed.

My only qualm is where does this traffic now go? What is the point of having a freeway from Toco- Cumuto then having people go back through traffic lights until Valsayn. Why not make the Churchill highway a grade separated freeway in its entirety before embarking on this new project? I know there is the issue of land acquistion etc but it should be dealt with. Where possible (e.g Piarco/Trincity) interchanges can be constructed until land is acquired in the more difficult areas like UWI etc.

We don't have a location as yet on where the proposed Valencia to Toco highway will start. The map that i uploaded here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=668776&start=30#p9595104 shows that it will begin at the end of the Churchill Roosevelt Highway near the Cumuto Barracks but nothing has been finalized as yet.

From the different maps that I have seen, it seems that when the projects are completed this is going to happen. When you reach the end of the Churchill Roosevelt Highway by Valencia, you will be met with an interchange that would split the highway into two. One highway will go North East which is the Valencia to Toco highway wheras the other highway will go south past Wallerfield towards the train line near Aripo Savannah and continue east towards Sangre Grande into Manzanilla (Manzanilla Highway).

I agree with you on the interchanges from Curepe heading east.

[sMASH]

Will that highway be passing close to the turtle nesting sites, enough where the lights and sounds will impact them?

Thanks for the heads up then maybe a highway wouldn't be needed as yet but considering the highway from Toco may bring development to the East and especially Grande it may be wise to at least have a highway to Grande and end it there. A good primary connector road, possibly dualled, could serve Manzanilla just fine from there.

I hope the plan is to construct interchanges along the present stretch of highway, I know it was some years ago but now... I dunno

[originalbling]

Where possible (e.g Piarco/Trincity) interchanges can be constructed until land is acquired in the more difficult areas like UWI etc.

Do a search.... there were plans from many years ago I believe when John Humphrey was minister to remove alot of those traffic lights and replace with interchanges.

Of equal concern is Rohan's sarobhai is the managing director or Kallco and a former director of highways.
