Kaieteur News – The Ministry of Housing and Water will soon be commencing works on the Eccles landfill (dumpsite) road at an estimated cost of $1,440,561,573 (US$7M).
During the opening of the project at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) office on Thursday, five construction companies applied to execute the works. The road which has been divided into three lots: Lot 1, is estimated to cost some $555,212,515, Lot 2, is estimated to cost some $454,690,258 and Lot 3, is estimated to cost some $430,658,800.

The CH&PA falls under the purview of the Ministry of Housing and Water which is headed by Minister, Collin Croal.
