BRIDGETOWN should be more aesthetically appealing, while at the same time presenting much more control of the flooding it has suffered in the past.
The second phase of the beautification of the Constitution River will begin in a few weeks, which should result in seawater flowing inward as far as Queen’s Park, resulting in an improved physical landscape.
Chief executive officer of the Barbados Tourism Investment Inc., Stuart Layne, yesterday disclosed that C.O. Williams Construction Limited had won the competitive bid to dredge and deepen the Constitution Canal.
He said the BTI had been given permission to get on with the project, but that his agency would ensure everything was in place first to satisfy all the regulatory officials. As a result an environmental management plan had been prepared to outline all the procedures as it related to the execution of work at the site. (ES)
