CABINET NOTES:<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Cabinet was informed by the Minister responsible for Public Works that repairs have been taking place on the roadway leading to Fort James.<\/p>\n

The surface of the road was virtually destroyed in order to plant the new polyethylene pipes that deliver potable water from the Fort James Reverse Osmosis Plant to a main transmission pipe, at the junction near the Barrymore Hotel on Fort Road.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The engineers awaited some settling and certainty that the pipes were not leaking, before patching the roadway; full resurfacing will take place later in the year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/ins><\/div>\n

The Fort James Road is expected to serve thousands of vehicles on Monday, Labour Day, when the 72nd Anniversary of the holiday takes place.<\/p>\n

The roadway leading south to Ffryes Bay has already been resurfaced, as part of an ongoing project, which has seen a newly surfaced southern highway.<\/p>\n
