Carenage bridge opens after 60-year wait

THE 60-year wait for residents of L'anse Mitan, Carenage, came to an end today, as the Prime Minister, along with Rural Development and Local Government Minister Kazim Hosein, opened a bridge after less than three months of construction.

The $1.4 million project, led by Coosal's Construction Company Limited, started on September 26 and ended on December 18.

Dr. Rowley, the MP for Diego Martin West, said the completion of the project will improve the lives of the people.

"There are many things to be done to improve communities, and as they are done you will see how they can impact on the improvement of the quality of life for these people – this is one such project. I want to thank the people of this community for being so patient," Rowley said.
