This was revealed recently by the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB).

This project is being undertaken by the Ministry of Public Works.

The upgrade of the road between Belfield and Rosignol has been a project long in the pipelines. The road widening and redesign project was intended to be a continuation of the East Coast Road Widening and Expansion Project, which was commissioned in 2020.

The ECD road expansion and widening project was supposed to have two components: a four-lane expansion from Better Hope to Annandale, and an upgrade to the existing two-lane road from Annandale to Belfield.

In 2019, it was reported that the Government had received a Grant of Kuwaiti Dinars (KD) 500,000 from the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development to undertake a Technical and Economic Feasibility Study for the Redesign of the Belfield to Rosignol Road Network.

The study was said to solve the issues of deteriorating roads, poor drainage and road safety along the Belfield to Rosignol stretch of roads. The redesign of the network would ensure enhanced capacity of the roads, strengthen trade and economic development and facilitate new and improved interactions among farming communities. It will also reduce delays and increase user satisfaction.
