Like the APNU+AFC did during its 2015 to 2020 tenure, the PPP/C government continues to maintain the Amaila Falls access road with Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill saying that it remains functional but needs maintenance soon.

Asked if the maintenance will be taken care of by his ministry, he responded that it was not in the current work programme.

However, this newspaper understands that work on the road will be done next year, even as government hopes that there will be heightened interest in the hydropower project.
