across Family Islands LONG ISLAND - Prime Minister and Minister of Finance the Most Hon. Dr. Hubert Minnis today officially opened two infrastructure projects for Long Island – the Newton Cay Bridge and Monument Road. The bridge crossing at Newton Cay provides access across a small creek from northern Long Island to the spectacular beach of Newton Cay. The replacement was necessary so that both residents and tourists could safely access the cay. The contract for new bridge was in the amount of $407, 000. Monument Road serves as an access to the popular Columbus Monument landmark, which was erected to commemorate Christopher Columbus landing on Long Island.
