“Each lot will have different outstanding. For example, the two that are more advanced, all that is required is some backfilling, the edge of the road, etc and then we will have to put the road markings. So that is like a completion.
“The others behind, some will still have to do the paving…so those are the type of works that are required. But we have done a bit of concrete work already on some of the lots,” Croal explained.
Despite the minor issues, Croal told the News Room that the highway is expected to be completed by the end of May this year.
