She said the Government of Liberia, through the Ministry of Public Works, is expected to complete 277.66km of roads in the next dry season.

The Public Works minister also disclosed that the government has begun disbursement of resettlement benefits to properties owners along the RIA route.

Minster Collins added that about 297 property owners have been paid, 30 property owners pending compensation and six property owners returned payment while 159 property owners withheld due to actual ownership issues.

Meanwhile, she disclosed that the Coca Cola factory to ELWA Junction road in Montserrado is about 38 percent completed and active work is expected to recommence in the coming dry season.
