By Paynesville, Liberia- In what seems like a significant stride toward infrastructural development, East International Group Incorporated has intensified efforts in the construction of the ELWA Junction to Robert International Airport (RIA) road, marking a notable improvement during Liberia’s government transitioning period.
The 45KM ELWA–RIA project, initiated in 2020, has recently witnessed a substantial transformation, with East International Group bringing in additional equipment to expedite the road’s construction. Independent investigations by news outlets confirm that the company is pre-financing the project, contributing to the acceleration of the pavement process.
Sources reveal that the road construction has faced occasional delays, partly attributed to financial considerations. Despite this, the current push by East International reflects a concerted effort to make significant headway in the road infrastructure before the government transitions.
The completed road pavement extends from ELWA Junction to Tinker’s Village, with damaged corvettes and technical areas being replaced. The endeavor aligns with the commitment of President Weah’s administration to advance critical infrastructure projects as the country undergoes a period of governmental transition.
East International Group Incorporated, a construction company contracted by the Liberian Government through the Ministry of Public Works, commenced the groundbreaking for the ELWA to Robert International Airport road in February 2020. The accelerated progress signifies a positive development in Liberia’s ongoing efforts to enhance its transportation network.
