The Cabinet invited four officials from the Public Works Department\u2014the Permanent Secretary, the Minister of State within the Ministry, the Director and Deputy Director\u2014to address the continuing work on repairing highways and community roads throughout the country. It was agreed that teams of workers, undertaking repairs at night, will continue. Several concrete roads that were started in Pares Village, Weirs, and Lightfoot will be completed, and All Saints Road will be repaved completely. A sum of US$5 million is already assigned by the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) to enable road repairs; consequently, that CDB amount will be utilized to purchase new equipment that will expand the capabilities of the Ministry of Works to add to the road repairs list. The Cabinet identified the road to Hermitage Bay, the Bathlodge Road, the Buckley\u2019s Line, Bellevue, Herbert\u2019s Highway, and several others in St. John\u2019s and rural Antigua for repairs. More than $50 million will be assigned to Barbuda for road building.<\/p>
