 The Ministry of Infrastructure, POTS, Transport, Physical Development and Urban Renewal has announced the commencement of the second phase of the Curly Sack Bridge Reconstruction Project. The works will involve the construction of the bridge's superstructure, beginning with the assembly of scaffoldings for the construction of PVC hollow slab girders. Construction of the substructures was completed by the middle of October 2021 and the overall reconstruction was 40.3% complete at the end of October. The project for the reconstruction of bridges in the Curly Sack Basin aims to mitigate against the CVF flooding that occurs in St. Lucia's second largest floodplain. A grant agreement to finance the project was made between the Government of St. Lucia and Japanese International Corporation JICA on August 2017. JICA is the executing agency of the grant aid for the project. The reconstruction is on course to be completed 21 months from March 1, 2021 commencement date.
