WITH the completion of the rehabilitation of 13 important roads in Kitty, Georgetown the Ministry of Public Works has significantly enhanced the infrastructure for the residents and commuters in the area.

The project, with a value exceeding $149 million, showcases the government’s dedication and significant financial contribution to improving transportation infrastructure in the community.

The initiative is a result of a commitment made by His Excellency, President Irfaan Ali, during a recent community engagement, highlighting the government’s dedication to enhancing infrastructure nationwide.

Spanning a total distance of 6.510 kilometres, the project includes essential undertakings focused on improving the longevity and excellence of the road surfaces.
