This morning the Minister of Works signed a contract with CISCO Construction Ltd. for what's known as the Fourth Road Project in Cayo. This project is divided into four phases, and these include the upgrading of Loma Luz Boulevard; a massive new bridge crossing the Macal River, the construction of a new by-pass, and the rehabilitation of Joseph Andrews Drive.
CISCO Construction Ltd was the successful bidder for this project, and at the signing today, John Woods enthused about the project.
John Woods, CISCO Construction Ltd.
"We are grateful to have won the contract. We are grateful to have won it by a large amount of money. We were quite a bit lower than anybody else. So we are saving the country money and we are grateful to be involved in this - putting people to work."
"To be awarded this contract - our big deal in the 80s was to do the road between San Ignacio and the border and this will be our first return since then. The big thing about this job is that it's very labour intensive, so we should be able to put lot of people in the area to work."
"That is gratifying because the money, instead of going into fuel or equipment, goes into people's pockets so they can feed their kids and have a better life."
"So I think this will be a win win project."
The engineering and supervision or this project is being provided by Halcrow Group Ltd. with the Project Execution Unit, an arm of the Ministry of Works.
