Motorist and pedestrians traveling on the E.O. Leblanc Highway near Gel Lyon in the Coulibistrie area are asked to be extremely careful because a landslide has blocked the road.
Disaster coordinator, Don Corriette, said the road is unpassable and traffic has been at a standstill from 5:30 on Monday morning.
He said the Public Works Department is being mobilized to deal with the slide.
He stated that pedestrians, in particular, should desist from crossing the slide since stones are still rolling down the cliff.
“Unless we have it stabilized, we advising persons not to attempt to cross that particular area,” he said.
He noted that there have been no reports of rainfall or tremors in the area, adding that it has been unstable for some time.
DNO is following this story and will publish further information as it becomes available.
Keep blocking roads see what is happening and you all are learning. Stop blocking the roads.

When will the government or the people of Dominica see that this cliffs around the coast line needs to be cut down blast and and open the coast line. Bolders been coming down this areas since I know myself. It is God who is guiding us y no one is killed or hurt from those cliffs there. This people have no vision man.
Instead of spending the money to do what is needed in the country,the leader using it to buy
airline tickets.

Salisbury Farmers Protesting again lmao
thats a very ridiculous thing to say
Reply to Kissa?: it is a ridiculous thing to say, but farmers protesting is even more ridiculous!
Response to anony: aller sousay sel lmbo
Kenny Joseph, God bless and guide you.
Rocks have been falling in this particular area since the road was originally constructed in the 50s. To date, not one government has seen it fit to shelve this cliff, thus enhancing road safety for both pedestrians and vehicular traffic. This should be a wake up call to our Ministry of Communication and Works. Then again, maybe not. It will be cleared and the same danger will continue for the next half century.
As long as the cabal Skeritt is in office, these are the types of punishments that will continue to come down on us from God. This landslide is no coincidence. It is a sign from God that we went wrong at the polls on Election Day. While Dominicans failing to make a move to eject the rotten egg named Skeritt from his undeserved P.M seat, the head of the cabal cartel is sitting at a table along with his overpaid cabinet enjoying a fine cooked meal and popping Champagne ……..But the scandal doesn’t stop there. Behind closed doors, Zacchaeus is sitting pretty in his sycamore tree already planning for next year how he’s going to hit the economy for six runs Brian Lara style by imposing greater taxes on the people while not doing anything to get money circulating through the country. God will continue to punish us until we eject the cabal
So you mean to tell me before Skerrit a landslide never came down in that area? enlighten me please.
There was a landslide in China also…91 persons still missing…tell me…was Skeritt the cause of that one also?
No. In China’s case, it was a punishment from God for their air pollution which is intoxicating the whole world
Florida Diaspora you are such an ****
Reply to Floridian Diaspora: LOLOL do you even know what you are saying? Serioulsy?
It is tru that China has a smog problem but a landslide is not a punishment for that. Also, lets consider the seriousness of the landslide. Even though 91 people died, China has 1.3 Billion people. This was not a serious event.
You are not a happy person. alas poor you.
Pure Bs and uneducated crap
Poor you! You are so sick with hate! You need to go to church and pray instead of memorizing and repeating those bible stories!
give it a rest!!!!elections are over. you loose. time to move on.geez!pray for yourself and for your country.stop being this bitter person man!!!!
u know what piss me of about your comment,is the fact that you do not even live in dominica,u are a florida diasporan donkey.
Well then, tell skeritt when he’s in need of help to call on the people within the country and do not call on the diasporan donkeys to come and rebuild a country which he destroyed
Please do not reason like this in public, jeez and you even call yourself articulate?
Scary! Like Terror!
What is Government doing to prevent such dangers!
All those roads are not been taking care of,neither rivers !
It is time to change!
Since the citizens can no longer block the roads because an oppressive government will pepper them with teargas and bullets, JAH is taking over and blocking the road. It is time for Skerrit to go, enough is enough, God is speaking to us as a nation, we are not listening, we will suffer his wrath.
Dominicans are sent to suck salt.
Was it the supporters of the united workers party who did it?
yes
Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
