Officials are reporting smooth progress in the $14 million Constitution River upgrade project and have assured that not only will it be completed on time and within budget, but the biggest beneficiaries will be residents.
The project, which is scheduled to be completed by mid-March 2022, was commissioned by Government through the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Investment and is being executed by the Barbados Tourism Investment Inc. (BTI). C.O Williams Construction is carrying out the development.
When it is completed, it is hoped small boats will be able to sail along the careenage and dock as far as a section at the northern end between Halls Road and Queen’s Park.
