BRAGSA chief executive officer (CEO) Deirdre Myers made this announcement Monday, while speaking at a press conference. She stated that their operations at Rabacca and Brighton Bay have been halted temporarily.
âThese sites are now closed. With respect to the Rabacca operation, it has to do with the failed bridge at Caratal, where we are not permitting heavy vehicles to cross. Until we have constructed a temporary passâ¦we will not be able to sell material from Rabacca,â Myers explained.
âWith respect to Brighton, weâve been having for the past three weeks or so, problems with the wave action. Youâll note that weâve been experiencing a lot of high winds, especially on the windward side of the island. Therefore, itâs not safe for us to operate at the Brighton site.â
Rabacca is a source for construction aggregate, while sand is mined at Brighton Bay. The CEO assured that the necessary announcements will be made when operations resume at both sites.
