Work is expected to commence on 72 roads under the Shared Prosperity through Accelerated Improvement to our Road Network (Spark Programme), between now and next month .

Works Minister Robert Morgan notes that by March, 49 roads will be added to the list, increasing the number of roads for which the contractor has been given instructions to commence work, to 258.

He says the Spark Programme was paused due to Hurricane Melissa, and the contractor was allowed to participate in the recovery and clearing process.
