Parliamentary Representative for the St Joseph Constituency, Kelver Darroux has described the construction and completion of the $11-million Yorke Valley Bridge as a very important project for the communities of St Joseph, Layou and by extension Dominica.
This marks the first phase of an ongoing plan for continued development of the Layou Valley which will bring the improvement of the road network and river protection works, he said.
“The Yorke Valley Bridge Project is a very important project for the communities of St Joseph, Layou, Layou Park and by extension the entire Dominica communities,” he said. “And I say that because over the last few years during the construction of this bridge, we’ve had tremendous support from the Government of the People’s Republic of China for one, being a significant partner towards the development of this bridge and also for standing with us through very difficult times.”
The Yorke Vally Bridge was destroyed during the collapse of the Mattieu Dam in 2011 and was constructed by the China Railway 14th Bureau Group Co. Ltd.
The government broke ground for construction of the Yorke Valley Bridge in October 2016.
