The government is moving ahead with plans to have Secondary and Feeder roads in St Vincent repaired as soon as possible.
This would be done through loans amounting to E.C 95 million dollars shared between the Kuwait Fund For Arab Economic Development and OFID.
The roads to be constructed under the Kuwait Fund includes;
Antoine Mountain roads, Palmyra, Montreal Gardens Road, Old Sandy Bay village road, Mount Wayne Beach Road, Mesopotamia road including Greggs, Belair main road, Brighton Salt Pound Road, Enhams Fair Hall Road, Sayers Village Road, Calder main road, Carriere mountain road, and Colonarie Estate.
Roads are also being done currently under the BNTF Program and also through the BAM, the Banana Accompanying Measures through the European Union.
Meanwhile, the government has put in an application for resources to move all facilities from the Argyle Airport which would be necessary for the construction these roads; they include the concrete batching plant, stone crusher and the asphalt plant.
Money has also been borrowed from a UK agency for the restoration of equipment to be involved with construction, the money for such was approved in the budget of 2017.
