It is a great pleasure to be with you on the occasion of the official opening of the Monument Road.
Monument Road serves as an access to the popular Columbus Monument landmark, which was erected to commemorate Christopher Columbus’ landing on Long Island.
The new road is a part of the Government’s efforts to promote heritage tourism for Bahamians and tourists.
The road also provides access to the government's navigational beacon/light house adjacent to the monument.

The old road was a narrow track road in very poor condition making travel difficult and uncomfortable.
