Just over a year after a contract was awarded for the rehabilitation of the dilapidated Leguan Stelling, works began yesterday, according to General Manager of the Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD) Marcelene Merchant.

Merchant told Stabroek News via telephone that piling works for the foundation of the stelling commenced yesterday and other additional works are expected to be carried within the next 12 months.

It is unclear what caused delay in the rehabilitation of the stelling.
