NSG is pleased to confirm that there has been strong progress made with the construction of the new West Bridge and the training wall.
Despite some recent setbacks due to periods of heavy rain work has been able to move forward at a consistent pace and we remain on track for an on-time completion of the work.
All the new main support structures have been built for the new bridge, including the two abutments and the piers located in the river. The attached images show the first set of steel girders installed on the north end of the structure, the centre span and south span will follow very shortly. With these beams in place in early January we shall move forward to place the concrete decking surface.
The river training wall along Jonson Avenue has also progressed well and we expect to close the wall also in early January. Once all the wall sections are in place we shall commence building up the level of the road and then apply the surfacing shortly thereafter. Additional small wall structures are being built beside the south abutment to connect the new bridge to the existing river walls
The pictures show the protective measures installed during the construction stage, which made it necessary for us to divert the course of the river numerous times.
The level of progress is a testimony to the dedication and enthusiasm expressed by all on this project.
NSG wish to take this opportunity to thank all its sub-contractors and suppliers for their excellent support and extend our best wishes to them and their families for a Merry Christmas and very happy New Year.

I wish Dat on each river banks, dey wod create parkin lanes. IT wod help a lot ?
It would Sav-a-lot too.
It can finish on time before or even after time the fact still remains that the contractual processes were not transparent and accountability is still questionable. It will be known as the corruption bridge. But the lies will continue for example the SC saying publicly that the MoU signed is equivalent to a contract. For 18million??? A MoU is a contract those guys treated that like an IOU with little shop in a village, Emmmh. Just like they lied about the leaked IPO document of the PM so to they continue to lie about the green light being received by PM from Deputy Fire Chief for clearing the fire site at Silver Lake . Just now they will start lying about their own self time will tell. Those two, SC and PM will be known as the “lying duo” they may well get a Grammy or an Emmy.
Hope we learn from past mistakes, Height weight, Pedestrian lanes, ect,ect, when completed its there to stay. That`s the bottom line.
st lucia new Hotal st.vincent new airport Antigua work all over the place hotals and more Dominica hand outs and one new BRIDGE and all the young people that use to run up and down with the gov saying they a the best they run to Antigua to look work what a set OF
Where you get that news from Antigua? Antigua is in a bad state now. Don’t let Antiguans hear you. Atleast Dominica have better roads and Institutional infrastructure than Antigua. The tourism dollar goes back to all them foreign hotels built.
MY GOOD D/A people come on look at that tell me what’s best for the people in Dominica we say thanks to the young PM and his good friends for a new BRIDGE in ST. VINCENT we say thinks to the gov that see the needs of its people for years to come for a NEW AIRPORT am sorry for these DOM-IN-CANS that just can see what A big joke Roseau has four Bridges I would think that when its done the Pm will put his NAME on that one and keep a big party for the DOM-IN-CANS and in 2017 we can use it as our NEW AIRPORT what a set of D-A-M-A-S-S-P
They are making way for the river to take the whole of Roseau. Wait, and all you will see.
Excuse me, does this mean that the $560,000 retaining wall built …………..only two years ago was a waste of money?
@KID ON THE BLOCK: The blessing of GOD do not fall on the liars and wicked men. These are not fruits of the spirit but of the devil. How can a man in his right mind use 18million of his money bypass his citizens and award a contract to bajans to done work that most locals on island can do? God is so watching over those wicked men- Time will tell. I also noticed that the joints of those girders are not over a support. From a layman view point, every joint is a weakness. Is that sound engineering design? Finally the opposition cannot curse him but will be from JAH!
I was thinking the same thing with regards to the joints of the beams.
Amen . Blessed and highly favoured.
that bridge looks well built, professional and on time I must be honest about that. in fact it looks better than the Chinese bridge with the funny guard dogs. But that is not the point is it, that is not what concerns us. Is the koko makak that went into the awarding of the contract and the financing of it. Nothing is regular in this country again, everything vai ki vai.
the koko makak that taxpayers have to pay for!!
They just started building…you’re saying it’s well built?
Dominicans and engineers doesn’t learn you all know what that river ca do you all build a bridge that is lower than the one that was there before it ? when are people going to learn the one fundamental thing about engineering . MOTHER NATURE WILL NOT RESPECT ENGINEERS IF THEY DONT RESPECT HER . they didnt seem to learn from the low Chinese bridge that always causing KFC and the lower part of town to flood.
You are so daft and naive. Feel so sorry
monies for this project should have been diverted elsewhere that would bring a direct positive impact to the citizenry. For e.g: grotto home needs upgrading, better health care system to name a couple!!
The Power of Labor; The MAN behind that is no other than the Doctor, Honorable Rosevelt Skerrit! Who JAH bless NO Opposition can never ever curse.
Ameeennnnnn. He is blesssd.
He may be blessed but the rest of us Dominicans are cursed. go figure
Feel so sorry for you. Alasssss
