Upcoming projects include:
• Major resurfacing of highways and village roads
• Re-piping beneath roadways before resurfacing
• Continued runway repairs at V.C. Bird International Airport
• Installation of an underwater internet cable in 2026
The Minister of Works was commended for “shining integrity” and motivating work crews across the island.
