China Rail and Bridge Corporation, a leading construction firm contracted by the Chinese Government to construct two overpasses along the TUBMAN Boulevard, has announced plans to mobilize equipment and personnel to kick start the project. This initiative is set to commence in February, 2025.
The Ministry of Public Works in a press release said representatives on Monday, October 7, 2024, discussed logistical preparations to ensure a smooth start to the project which is expected to enhance traffic flow and improve overall transportation infrastructure in the area.
“This project is a significant step towards improving transportation efficiency and safety for the community, as we are committed to delivering high-quality construction services and look forward to working closely with local stakeholders,” said CRBC’s Head of Delegation.
The company, however, expressed concerns over the immediacy of the demolition to enable the commencement of the project. Deputy Minister Price D. Tambah in a response assured them that demolition exercises along the project corridor will begin immediately as most of the properties are already paid for by the Liberian Government.
Public Works Minister Roland Layfeyette Giddings thanked the Government of the People’s Republic of China for the milestone project, and stressed that the project aligns with ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure across the region, promoting economic development and better connectivity.
Minister Giddings further assured CRBC that the Ministry is ready to provide all technical support that may be required within the project duration, re-emphasizing that demolition will commence in October of this year.
