THE rehabilitation of the main access road at Four Miles, Bartica, is almost complete, with one of the final stages, the paving works, wrapping up on Sunday.
According to the Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MPI), to date, the road has been patched and workers also undertook the installation of kerbs and slipper drains.

On Friday, workers overlaid the road with 38mm thick asphalt and these works continued over the weekend. The rehabilitation of the stretch is being done to the tune of $30M.
Works are also ongoing at Mabaruma in the North West District on the main public road passing through the town. The roadway is being capped with concrete and according to reports, works are expected to be completed within the next two months on the roadway there.

In the 2018 national budget, various sums of money were set aside for road projects across the country, including in the hinterland. The works are seen as pivotal by the government as they are expected to create a positive economic impact.
