As expansion works continue along Sheriff Street as part of the Sheriff Street-Mandela Avenue Upgrade Project, works have also started on the Mandela Avenue section.
The project started in August this year, some six months after the US$31.03 million contract, which is being financed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), was signed and the site was handed over to the contractor – Sino Hydro Corporation Limited.
Works were started along the northern section of Sheriff Street and over the last five months expansion works have been carried out on the road. After the utility poles on both sides of the road were relocated, the contractor began construction of the concrete drains on the eastern and western sides of the road.
