Basseterre, St Kitts and Nevis: Prime Minister Dr Terrance Drew visited the Road Rehabilitation Project sites at St Peter’s Main Road and FT Williams Highway to cross-check the progress made since the beginning of the construction phase. The work was commenced on the sites a while back.
PM Drew, who is also elected Parliamentary Representative for the area as well, expressed his delight as the work is being done to a great extent that enables the heavy machinery to carry out their operations.
“This work has been going on for over a year, but of course, the heavy equipment that we are seeing here can only come in after the designs, the engineering and all those other things would have been done. So now we are hoping to complete this road within a year and resolve the issues of the main road and access to the area of St Peter’s”, added PM Drew.
The walkthrough of both sides offered an opportunity for the contractors to outlines the requirements that are needed to ensure the smooth rollout of the project.
