Although generally satisfied with the progress of works done as part of the Sheriff/Mandela Avenue expansion project, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill has said the quality in some areas did not meet expectations and he has instructed engineers to address how the situation will be remedied.

Speaking at the roundabout at Sheriff Street on Wednesday, Edghill voiced concerns about the area not yet being paved and said that it is contributing to the daily back-up of traffic in the area.

He instructed the engineers to get on with the work and shared that further works will commence on Monday, during which time they will labour during the curfew hours in order to complete the task.
