The road surfacing of Montserrat’s main road stretching from Salem to the North is progressing and officials are confident that the main sections presently being worked on will be complete before the start of festival this December.

The Honourable Premier Reuben T. Meade took reporters on a visit of several ongoing projects on Thursday, including the resurfacing of the Brades main road from the BBC Complex to the corner of Brades Primary School.

He commended his colleague Hon. Minister of Communications and Works Charles Kirnon and the team at the Public Works Department who have made great strides to push the road project, which had been earlier hampered by several issues including lack of aggregate.

The top official also took reporters to the Davy Hill Housing Development project and the new geothermal site in Cork Hill.
