Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill yesterday disclosed that 132 new roads are to be done in Region Six and 1,000 more metres for the Mara thoroughfare.
He noted that 1053 roads were covered in the last wave of contracts awarded across the country to the tune of $22B, as he told Berbicians to look out for the 2023 budget as more roads are expected to be done.
Edghill said that the current programme is being undertaken through a collaborative effort by the Ministry of Public Works, the Ministry of Housing and Water and the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development. “We are doing just over 1050 roads in this programme… Could you imagine the gravity and depth of what is taking place across the country with the building out of roads…”
