Bitumen Shortage Threatens Public Works Projects
A potential shortage of bitumen is expected due to shifts in fuel and kerosene production priorities. Current stockpiles are estimated to last only four weeks. Industry experts warn that a shortage would force all construction sites to a halt, causing catastrophic consequences. The current recommendation is to purchase and stock as much bitumen as possible despite high costs. Companies are prioritizing kerosene and gasoline production over bitumen manufacturing.
