The Government of Grenada continues to closely monitor and advance the civil works underway
in Clozier, St. John, adopting a strategic and technically sound approach to ensure the successful
completion of the main road infrastructure.
During a site visit on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, Permanent Secretary Mr. Alva Browne
announced the engagement of senior consultant and civil engineer, Mr. Timothy Bubb, to provide
independent technical oversight and expert recommendations for the project. Mr. Browne
reaffirmed the Ministryโs commitment to diligent project management and transparent oversight.
Mr. Bubbโs preliminary assessment confirmed that the retaining wall constructed by Farray
Construction Services Ltd. rests on a solid foundation and remains structurally stable, despite
surrounding soil movement. He recommended that attention now be directed to the opposite side
of the road, where water flow and saturation pose ongoing challenges. Further technical
evaluations will guide the most effective solutions for managing water flow at the site.
The project is being executed by Farray Construction Services Ltd., under the supervision of Chief
Technical Officer Mr. Kevin Blache and his team. The team has successfully removed excess
water from the lower section of the site and is progressing with the casting of the wing wall. Mr.
Junior Farray reaffirmed his companyโs commitment to completing the project within a reasonable
time frame.
On Sunday, July 20, 2025, Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Honourable Dickon
Mitchell, and Member of Parliament for St. John, Honourable Kerryne James, along with other
government officials, hosted a community meeting at the Clozier Community Center. The meeting
served to update residents on the projectโs progress and to engage them in meaningful dialogue.
Prime Minister Mitchell emphasised the governmentโs unwavering commitment to resolving the
current challenges and supporting the community throughout the process.
Community members shared their concerns and offered constructive suggestions to enhance local
resilience. Feedback was also provided on the proposed government-supported shuttle service to
assist with resident mobility during the construction period.
The Government of Grenada remains steadfast in placing the needs and safety of Clozier residents
at the heart of this project. We thank the community for its continued patience, cooperation, and
support as we work together toward a stronger and more resilient Grenada.
