The contractor executing works on the Cane Grove access road in Region Four has been given a two-week deadline for completion of the project, a release from the Ministry of Public Works said today.

That instruction was given by Public Works Minister, Juan Edghill, who today inspected the works after complaints were made by residents.

The works which should have been completed on May 21 are being undertaken by Avinash Contracting and Scrap Metal. The release said that the $117 million works include asphaltic concrete of 260 metres of road, and construction of two bridges and a culvert.

Additionally, the ministry will soon be undertaking emergency works on a concrete bridge in the community, which collapsed. Edghill said a contract will soon be awarded, the release stated.
