The Government of Saint Lucia has made the rehabilitation of roads and bridges, the construction of new roads and potholing, the construction of footpaths and pathways, a major priority over the last three years.The Ministry of Infrastructure, Ports, Energy and Labour is the Ministry spearheading the efforts, recently unveiling The Road Improvement and Maintenance Program (RIMP).

The Government has also pursued a number of other road interventions through the Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project (DVRP) and the Constituency Development Program (CDP). The idea is to improve the overall road network in Saint Lucia, with design and concepts that would address resilience in the face of climate change.

In this issue of Our Saint Lucia, we focus on the work program of the Ministry of Infrastructure, including recently finished road works, ongoing road-works and upcoming projects. In addition to creating employment, these projects when complete, will provide access to employment, stimulate economic activity, spur social development and other amenities. It is for these reasons and so much more, that road infrastructure is seen by the Government of Saint Lucia as one of the most important of all public assets.
