East Coast highway expansion works could start by month end

The expansion of the East Coast highway is likely to resume before the end of this month, according to Coordinator of the Work Service Group at the Ministry of Public Infrastructure Geoffrey Vaughn.

Speaking on Wednesday at the ministry’s annual review, Vaughn said, “Hopefully in late January we will be able to actually commence works on the East Coast Expansion Project.”

Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson had also related that because of “unfortunate circumstances that the ministry had no control over” projects that were being funded by international organizations
