The Department of Public Information (DPI) yesterday said that more than 40 roads across Region Eight are set for major improvement following the signing of contracts valued over $100 million by the Ministry of Public Works.
The DPI release did not list the villages nor number of roads per village where the infrastructural works would be undertaken. Also no start up nor end times for the infrastructural works was provided by DPI. $295 million has been allocated for the road maintenance programme for Region Eight this year, according to DPI.
DPI said Minister of Amerindian Affairs, Pauline Sukhai, and Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Works, Vladim Persaud spearheaded the exercise during an outreach to the region on Saturday.
