Contact: John Emmanuel

Friday, February 02, 2001 - Officials of the Ministry of Communication, Works, Transport and Public Utilities are hoping to formulate a structured works programme, whereby established road and drainage priorities can be integrated into a schedule of works over the next fiscal year.

Newly appointed Chief Engineer Doltan Cenac says along with various parliamentary representatives he has been conducting a series of tours to ascertain the needs of these constituencies. According to him, a number of capital works projects have either been completed or are at advanced stages.

 “Amongst the on going works at present we have the Castries Inner Relief Road, the Community Roads Programme and the Agricultural Feeder Roads Programme together with various other sub-control works and de-silting of rivers. The Castries inner relief road essentially comprises the new Castries River Bridge, the Manoel Street link and the Vigie Roundabout that was completed in 1999. The Castries River Bridge deck was actually cast this Monday (January 29) and together with the Manoel Street link should be substantially completed by mid-March,” said Mr. Cenac.

The Ministry of Communications and Works has recently awarded contracts for the upgrade of selected roads falling under the Agricultural Feeder Roads Programme. The Community Roads Programme will commence later in the month.
