As crews began work under a record $14 million contract to rehabilitate nine miles of road from Road Town to West End, the government last week announced a separate $1.5 million contract for overlapping roadworks in Sea Cows Bay.
Premier Natalio “Sowande” Wheatley described the Sea Cows Bay road as an area of longstanding public concern.
According to a separate government press release issued Tuesday, initial works under that contract are now under way between Fort Recovery and Cox Heath.
“Upon completion, the ministry will proceed with additional paving and infrastructure improvements along the remainder of the West End to Road Town route,” the Tuesday press release explained.
The government has also left unanswered questions about tendering and bidder details for the $14 million road contract.
