Motorists frustrated by sewer leak and potholes in Leonardsville

The situation poses a risk to both drivers and pedestrians, particularly during peak traffic hours and at night when visibility is low.

Frustration is mounting among motorists who regularly use the main road in Ward 10, Leonardsville. There is a persistent sewer leak and an increasing number of large potholes that have severely damaged the roadway.

The road, which was designed as a two-lane route to allow for smooth traffic flow, has now become difficult to navigate. Drivers are forced to take turns passing through the affected sections, as the potholes have narrowed the road significantly. In some cases, motorists are compelled to use alternative routes to avoid damage to their vehicles, causing further inconvenience and delays.
