Major rehabilitation works on 25 roads in Region Ten, pegged at a total cost of $800 million, began on Sunday.
According to a Ministry of Public Works statement, published on its Facebook page on Saturday, Minister Juan Edghill and a team, including Ministry of Public Works Engineer Dwayne Roland and Regional Executive Officer Dwight John, visited a number of communities where rehabilitation works are slated to begin on Friday.
During his visit to Canvas City Back Road, Minister Edghill is reported to have said that he was well aware that rehabilitating the 25 roads would not alleviate all those communities’ issues. However, he noted it’s a start and that much more development is planned for the future.
