Despite funds being diverted from the Sheriff Street-Mandela Avenue road upgrade project to develop infrastructure in Sophia and surrounding areas, head of the Work Services Group of the Public Infrastructure Ministry Geoffrey Vaughn has said that the project will still be executed fully.
Vaughn told Stabroek News that there will be no change in the scope of work to be executed.
Initially, there had been some confusion, since it was announced by the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) that US$30 million from the US$66 million Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) loan being used for the road upgrade would be diverted to the Sophia infrastructure project.
