Chief Secretary Farley Augustine, speaking at the Tobago People’s Party public meeting in Speyside last night, announced that the long-awaited Friendship Bypass Road is expected to be opened to the public within the next month. He said this achievement was not realized under the previous administration, underscoring the current administration’s commitment to delivering on key infrastructural projects. He highlighted that this accomplishment comes during the administration’s first term in office, highlighting it as a testament to their dedication to delivering results for the people of Tobago. Augustine also addressed the proposed expansion of the Store Bay Local Road, stating that initial plans were made without proper consultation with the Tobago House of Assembly. He warned that due to this lack of early engagement, additional parcels of land will now have to be acquired to complete the project.
