The Public Investment Management Committee (PIMC) has approved the Shared Prosperity Through Accelerated Improvement to our Road Network (SPARK) Programme.

SPARK is a $45 billion road improvement project being carried out across the island.

Over 600 roads are to be improved under the initiative.

Giving an update on the programme at this morning’s post-cabinet press briefing, Minister of Works, Robert Morgan said PIMC approved SPARK yesterday, paving the way for roads to be fixed under the programme before Christmas.
