C&D Construction and Engineering Limited has been contracted to build a state-of-the-art justice centre in Sandy Bay, Hanover.

The contract was signed at the Ministry’s office last Friday.

The construction, which is expected to be completed by September next year is projected to cost some $173 million.

Speaking at a post-Cabinet press briefing yesterday, Information Minister Dr. Dana Morris Dixon said the facility will be the first of its kind on the island.
