Sophia culvert to be completed by month-end
The construction of a critical culvert in ‘B’ Field, Sophia, which is geared to improve linkage with Guyhoc Park, will be completed by this month end.
According to Kelvin Clarke, Design Engineer of the Ministry of Public Works, the final structure to complete the connection between Sophia and Guyhoc Park is a HDPE double barrel culvert.
Ongoing works at the Sophia culvert.
“It will be a relief for individuals living in Sophia because then they will have an alternative route which can connect them to Mandela Avenue. At the moment, Dennis Street is the only option for persons with vehicles,” Clarke said in a Ministry statement.
Additionally two other bridges have been constructed in the Sophia community, Clarke added. One is a reinforced concrete structure on steel beams that spans over the Sussex Street Canal, while the other is a 40 feet timber structure over the Lamaha Canal.
The developmental projects amounted to $38M, with Courtney Benn Construction Services Limited (CBCSL) executing the works, the Ministry said.
