Infrastructure ministry denies building substandard village road in Region 2

The Ministry supplied this image taken a few weeks ago of the road it said it had built.

The Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MoPI) is refuting media reports which claim that a stretch of road in Lima Sands, Region Two that was purportedly constructed by the ministry has deteriorated.

In a release yesterday, the MoPI stated that it has taken note of recent newspaper articles that spoke of the “deplorable” condition of the Lima Sands road in Region Two.

The ministry informed that the construction of the above-mentioned road is dependent on a new budget. It was pointed out that the MoPI through its Special Projects Unit (SPU), Works Services Group, had constructed an asphalt road on the approach to the thoroughfare back in 2018 to the tune of approximately $100 million.
