UPDATE PROVIDED ON ROAD WORKS PROJECT

Many drivers have expressed frustration about the length of time being taken to complete works on Friars Hill Road and the Sir George Walter Highway.
We sought a response from Project coordinator Dennis Cudjoe; he tells us the work will be completed as soon as possible.

Cudjoe says there are certain refinements which will have to be completed before a more definitive timeline can be provided.
He says however, there have been challenges moving the project forward.

The dispute between the contractor Bahamas Hot Mix and the government is currently before a Dispute Adjudication Board.
However, Cudjoe says this should not stop the contractor from completing the job.
The road rehabilitation project is funded by an almost 14 million-pound grant from the British government.
