AFTER years of neglect, Government has constructed a new bridge at Flour Mill Road, Agricola, Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, Jaipaul Sharma, said.
Sharma, in a Facebook post, said that the pedestrian bridge, which was over a trench, was in a notably deplorable state for years. He said one resident complained to him that a child recently broke her hand after falling from the bridge when a rotted board broke. The resident added that the condition of the bridge was especially dangerous since the trench was infested with snakes.

Just about a month ago, during a walkabout in the community, Minister Sharma committed to sourcing the materials, as early as possible, to facilitate the bridge’s rehabilitation. He did so, and a new bridge was constructed. In the photos, Minister Sharma, along with a parent and students, ‘test’ the new bridge.
