Abaco Residents Frustrated Over Massive Potholes

Residents across Abaco are growing increasingly frustrated over the poor condition of major highways, complaining of massive potholes that have damaged vehicles, caused accidents, and made daily commuting a nightmare.

Motorists say the SC Bootle and Earnest Dean Highways, the island’s two main thoroughfares connecting the north and south, are in a serious state of disrepair, worsened by torrential rainfall over the past several weeks.

Residents have taken to social media to vent their anger over the situation, reporting damaged tires, rims, and cars breaking down after driving through potholes hidden beneath pools of rainwater.
