Cabinet has given approval for the award of a contract in the amount of $187,662,532 to NF Barnes Construction and Equipment Company Limited for the construction of a retaining wall along Gordon Town Road in St Andrew.
Minister of Education, Youth and Information, Fayval Williams, made the disclosure at a Post-Cabinet Press Briefing on Wednesday, February 3.
The roadway collapsed during heavy rains associated with Tropical Storm Eta in November 2020, leaving many residents marooned.
“While touring the area shortly after the heavy rains, the prime minister indicated that it would cost the Government $200 million to effect repairs to the road,” Williams said.
