Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation, Hon. Clifford. E. Warmington says that $15 million will be allocated to undertake emergency repair work on the Seaman Valley to Millbank road network in Eastern Portland.

The announcement came today (May 3, 2023) during a tour of the constituency at the invitation of Member of Parliament, Ann-Marie Vaz.

“The condition of that road is one of the worst I have seen. Based on the deplorable condition of the road, I asked the NWA team to scope a $15 million emergency project for it right now, to try and make the surface a little better to use…The government will release $15 million as an emergency to address the situation. We did a $30 million in Phase 1 and now I’ve asked the team to do the next $50 million as Phase 2″.

Minister Warmington gave the assurance that the roads in areas toured, will be addressed.

“I can assure the Member of Parliament, Ann Marie Vaz, and the people of Eastern Portland that the government listens, will react and all of these projects will be addressed this year including this one (Norwich Heights) even though it is not a part of the NWA network”, he advised.

Among the areas toured were Wain Road, Ginger House, Cornwall Barracks, Norwich Heights, the Toms Hope breakaway, the Ginger House breakaway, the Comfort Castle breakaway and Alligator Church Bridge to Belleview.
