PHILIPSBURG –The concept of a ring road first became an issue in May 2009, when the section ROB of what was then the VROM (Public Housing, Urban Planning and Environment) department published a notice announcing its plans to fill in part of the Great Salt Pond for the construction of a ring road. Eight years later, the ring road still has not become a reality, but the pond has lost a significant part of its retention capacity.
