Speaking during the launch, PS Jerome noted that the ministry was working with all agencies to mitigate disruptions and disconnections that might include power, water or even fibre cables during the work.
“We’re working as a very coordinated multiagency government unit, involving various ministries, to ensure that when a project commences all stakeholders are brought on board to eliminate disruptions and disconnections. The contractors for this project will be working with a strict timeline of 6 weeks to pave way for the dual carriage that is due to commence in September this year,” PS Jerome stated.
