It’s been done at the right cost and is being delivered on time.
“This road is as good as any other road you can find anywhere in the world. The duration for the works is 18 months. The contractor started in April 2023 this year, and they will complete by December this year,” he says.
Meanwhile, Road Development Agency (RDA) Board Chairperson, Mulchand Kuntawala says also included in the scope of works are lay-bys and truck parks to service drivers who are an important asset in the transportation industry.
