The Sheriff Street/Mandela Avenue road project will not meet its October 31 deadline because of shipment delays, according to Minister of Public works Juan Edghill.
Edghill made the announcement yesterday during a site visit where he spoke with the contractors about the work that has been completed thus far. Edghill said that due to shipment issues, the project has to be extended to accommodate the wait. The minister along with the project contractors walked from the Sheriff Street and Railway Embankment junction to the road joining Mandela Avenue to the East Bank highway. Edghill told the media that the work observed is satisfactory and he hopes that the country will be comforted to know this. He also said that it is his hope that persons will have some patience as the project draws closer to its end.
