The long-awaited $475 million Cemetery Road rehabilitation project which faced significant challenges will now be finished within the next 48 hours, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said yesterday.

During an inspection yesterday afternoon, Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill said that 96 per cent of the works had been completed with two bridges left to be cured after being recently cast.

Currently, the bridge embankment closer to Princes Street is being cast and was expected to be done by last evening. However, it needs approximately two weeks of curing time. It will then be asphalted to ensure uniformity.
