Conversation Tree, Cemetery Road projects proceeding at ‘slothful’ pace – Edghill

Ongoing works at a section of the Conversation Tree project

By Antonio Dey

Public Works Minister, Juan Edghill has stated his dissatisfaction with the road works at Conversation Tree and at Cemetery Road, asserting that they should have been completed this year and not roll over to 2024.

The minister, disheartened at the slothful manner in which the projects are being conducted, informed reporters at a year-end press briefing yesterday that the respective contractors were given a revised timeline of January month-end to finalise the road projects.

For the Cemetery Road project, the revised timeline of end of January was granted to the contractor, after which Liquidated Damages will be applied.
