On Wednesday 16th January, 2019, Dr. The Hon. Keith Rowley, Prime Minister of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago delivered the Feature Address and turned the sod, to officially begin the construction for the Diego Martin Pedestrian Overpass/Walkover. Due to the implementation of the Diego Martin Highway Expansion Project, a pedestrian overpass was deemed necessary to reduce or eliminate pedestrian and vehicular conflicts along the Diego Martin Highway. The PURE Unit had been  tasked with designing and managing the construction of a 36.5 meter span box truss pedestrian overpass. Our MP Darryl has been pushing for this since he was Chairman of DMRC. He spoke of the record infrastructure projects being done in Diego Martin Central . Including The DM Sporting Complex, 2 Community Centres, 1 Health Centre, Housing, Road Paving, T&Tec sub station upgrades, and much more to come.

National Commission Self Help Outreach Program has begun and are interviewing residents of the region affected by the recent flooding/landslides and earthquake throughout the region of Diego Martin. Affected residents are urged to come down to MP Darryl Smith Office at #2-3 Orchid Drive, Petit Valley. Special thanks to Darryl Smith, Member of Parliament for Diego Martin Central and staff for their assistance.

The Diego Martin Regional Corporation mobilized its CAT 313D2L Excavator to continue remedial desilting and removal of large debris under the bridge at the major watercourse located at Bridge Road off Water-Wheel Road, Blue Basin. The Diego Martin Regional Corporation would also like to thank the Ministry of National Security Trinidad & Tobago for providing a Lowboy Trailer and the Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government for the Excavator.
