Minister of Public Works, Hon. Bishop Juan Edghill, has urged the contractors to immediately get into execution mode.

Meanwhile, he reemphasized the Government’s massive build-out plan for Region 10 which will continue into 2024.

Just recently instruction has been given by His Excellency to pave 1000 meters of roadway in Coomaka, along with another 1600 meters at Old England/ Siberia, Minister Edgill stated. Adding that these roads are at crusher run level and must be brought up to asphaltic concrete.

Additionally, he said there is work to be done at Ituni: four concrete roads, as well as a new road to be constructed at Black Bush for which the contract will be awarded immediately.

Minister Edghill said along with 62 roads to be built, 19 more added today, and some $300 million earmarked for projects under the Hinterland programme for Region 10, there is work and opportunity for everyone.

He said, like every other region of the country, Region 10 is experiencing a massive infrastructural overhaul in keeping with the Government’s national buildout plan.
