Reply: I am informed by the Road Development Authority (RDA) that, in the region of Baie du Tombeau, the following roads fall under its purview, namely – (i) The Riche Terre (B33) Road, and (ii) The Baie du Tombeau (B29) Road. I am further informed that the B33 Road, from its junction with the Motorway M2 at the Riche-Terre roundabout, is in a good condition except for localised settlements due to house connections for water supply. As regards the Baie du Tombeau (B29) Road, I am informed that the stretch from Cocoterie Roundabout to the junction with Riche Terre Road B33 is in a good condition. However, the stretch of the B29 Road from its junction with B33 Road near Cocotier Hotel to Chateau des Reves is in a deplorable state. The RDA has already issued a Works Order on

161 21 March 2025 for an amount of Rs4.86 m., inclusive of VAT, for resurfacing works over an approximate length of 700 metres thereat. The works are expected to start by the second week of May 2025 and will be completed by end of May 2025. As regards the stretch of the Baie du Tombeau (B29) Road from Port Chambly football ground up to its junction with the Terre Rouge-Triolet-Grand Baie (A4) Road at St Joseph, I am informed that the RDA had, in March 2024, granted wayleave to the Wastewater Management Authority (WMA) for pipelaying works over a length of 1.1 km, subject to full width reinstatement after completion of the works. I am informed that the temporary trench reinstatement, recently been completed thereat, have settled. The RDA is closely monitoring the situation and liaising with the WMA for the required remedial works. In addition, I am informed that the National Development Unit is currently undertaking several road works in the region of Baie du Tombeau, namely – (i) Resurfacing of Avenue Rouget, Baie du Tombeau; (ii) Reinstatement of Avenue Pingouin, Baie du Tombeau, and (iii) Reinstatement of Avenue des Capucines, Morcellement Beau Rivage, Baie du Tombeau. The first two projects are expected to be completed by mid-May 2025 and the third project will be completed by mid-June 2025 in view of CWA pipe relocation works.
