The Ministry of Infrastructure Development and Implementation will commence urgent work on the Grand Anse Valley Road, St George.
In that regard, the road will be closed to heavy equipment vehicles only from Monday, 5 October 2020 to facilitate the construction of a retaining wall and cross culvert that is in dire need of repair.
The public is advised that the work is planned for 3 weeks.
The ministry apologises for any inconvenience, and anticipates the cooperation of the residents of the area and the public, who are advised to make use of alternative routes.

That’s true. I always thought of the roads with no pavement for pedestrians .
Every time I pass along Grand Anse Valley Road I worry for pedestrians especially children who have to walk precariously along the edge of the busy road in an expanding built up residential area. The bits of verges at the side of the road are very narrow, uneven and are not continuous so pedestrians have to keep crossing the busy road to complete their journeys.
It seems that Grand Anse Valley Road and many others in Grenada were not properly planned and insufficient thought was given to pedestrians needs.
Roads in built-up areas should never be constructed without suitable footpaths.
The governments highway improvement programme needs to include safe walkways for pedestrians on existing and new roads, pedestrians should not be faced with the risk of having to “make it how they can”.
