Continuing projects such as the Roseau Road Reinstatement, Roseau Improvement and Maintenance Project (Valley Roads), Roseau-to-Melville Hall Road Lot 1 \u2013 Canefield to Pond Cass\u00e9, the Road Network and Improvement Programme  (Grand Bay to Loubiere) and the Petite Soufriere to Rosalie link road are all  expected to be completed during the year,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Skerrit stated that work is expected to continue on other projects beyond this new  fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmong these are the West Coast Road and aspects of the Air Access Improvement project. In  regard to the Air Access Improvement project, while the major works have been  completed, Government is now concentrating on ancillary works such as local access  roads and additional river defence which will give a boost to the project,\u201d he\u00a0 noted.<\/p>\n<p>In his address, the prime minister also spoke of the importance of the West Coast Road Project  which is estimated at $100 million, among other significant  infrastructural projects around the island.<\/p>\n<p>Meantime, Blackmoore says PM Skerrit&#8217;s budget  presentation reflects good news for all Dominicans.<\/p>\n<p>Having taken the global economic crisis into consideration, Blackmoore said it is the best budget of any Government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaken into consideration the reality of the world financially, I  think it\u2019s the best any government could present at this time. We are  not proposing any new taxes and we are ensuring that we remove the  responsibility or creating jobs from the public purse and trying to  encourage private enterprise, starting from the small business  enterprise,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ministry of Public Works, Energy and Ports will receive the largest allocation of capital under the 2010\/2011 national budget.
