The company constructing the new Barbuda Airport runway says the strip will be completed at the end of the year.<\/p>

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

Two representatives from BHM, the construction and<\/g> engineering company that is also repairing the two major roadways under construction in Antigua, were invited to Cabinet to give an update on the projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Barbuda runway is likely to be completed before the end of the 2019 year; its delay is occasioned by the temporary injunction by members of the Barbuda People\u2019s Movement which inflicted a heavy cost, as machines and men remained idle for more than one month.” <\/p>

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

The work slowed-down significantly as machines were deliberately damaged and workers moved to other jobs during the injunction shut down.<\/p>

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

Meantime, officials say the Friars Hill and Airport Roads are capable of completion in a few months, providing the aggregates required can be delivered to the sites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A promise was made by the Minister of Works that BHM will be given priority in the delivery of certain sizes of aggregates.<\/p>

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

“The stones will come from the Bendals<\/g> Quarry and the Burma Quarry where new crushers were installed, in order to produce all the crushed stones that would be required,” the government said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complaints about payments were directed to the CDB\u2014the bank responsible for making cash payouts. <\/p>
