With 95 per cent of works completed on Eccles to Mandela Avenue alternative road link, Minister of Housing and Water Collin Croal has announced that the road will soon be commissioned.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a recent event, Croal said that they are awaiting for a recently poured concrete bridge to be fully cured before opening up the alternative thoroughfare to traffic.
Apart from that, he noted, the stretch of road has been completed and contractors have since been engaged in “tidying up” works. Moreover, he explained that works have commenced on phase two of the alternative road link where they have already started land clearing works. The contractors should be mobilized in the areas soon.
