The Ministry of Public Works in collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government has embarked on a project to swiftly repair 100 roads using sums from the $600 million requested recently from the National Assembly.
The Public Works Minister was asked yesterday how the $600 million will be disbursed. “It is to projects like this. One hundred roads will be a part of our project. Some have already been awarded at the ministerial tender board level; roads costing $8 -12 million and so on. This road will be a 39.4 million contract and this is 466 meters,” Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill told the Stabroek News, as he yesterday visited Owen Street Kitty, accompanied by Minister of Local Government Anand Persaud and a team, to assess the project and speak to residents.
