Drivers in Iklin are fuming after a large pothole on a major road has left a trail of flat tyres in its wake. The pothole, which has been carved out by recent heavy rainfall, is located just off the Birkirkara bypass, a busy thoroughfare that connects several major towns and cities. The pothole’s presence has caused chaos for motorists, with many reporting that they have suffered flat tyres and other damage to their vehicles after driving over the crater-like hole.
The situation has become so dire that drivers are taking to social media to express their frustration and warn others about the hazard. Many are calling on the authorities to take immediate action to repair the pothole and prevent further damage to vehicles. The Malta Transport Authority and the local council have been urged to work together to address the issue and ensure that the road is safe for all users.
The problem of potholes on Malta’s roads is not a new one, and it is a issue that has been exacerbated by the recent heavy rainfall. The rain has caused widespread damage to the island’s road network, with many potholes appearing overnight. While the authorities have been working to repair the damage, it is clear that more needs to be done to address the root causes of the problem and prevent potholes from forming in the first place.
In the meantime, drivers are being advised to exercise extreme caution when driving on the affected road and to slow down to avoid damaging their vehicles. The authorities are also urging drivers to report any potholes or other hazards they encounter on the road, so that they can be repaired as quickly as possible. By working together, it is hoped that the problem of potholes on Malta’s roads can be addressed and the island’s drivers can enjoy safer and smoother journeys.
