THE Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MPI) announced on Saturday evening that Dennis Street in Sophia, between ‘A’ Field and the Eastern Highway, is now reopened to vehicular traffic, days ahead of its scheduled completion.Construction began on April 4 and was slated to be completed by April 18. However, recognising that the closed area was an important one for residents and commuters in Sophia, General Contractor Colin Talbot and his team worked assiduously to ensure that the work was done before its deadline, the MPI stated.

These road works saw completion of approximately 300 metres of timber revetment being placed along Dennis Street, Sophia, which included the installation of steel tie-rods and “dead man” structures.

Besides Sophia, the MPI will be undertaking other major infrastructural works in Pattensen and Turkeyen as part of its Urban Areas Development Plan for 2016.
