THE new bypass road under construction on the Great Abaco highway is taking shape. Six months ago, the Government awarded a contract for $965,818,95 to Knowles Construction and Development Company Ltd to build the bypass road in Central Abaco. "There is traffic congestion in downtown," said Public Works and Transport Minister Neko Grant. "This road will eliminate the heavy traffic in the downtown area which permits one to land at Marsh Harbour International Airport and proceed to north Abaco without going downtown. "The road connects from the south and brings you to the airport. It will take you to downtown as well, just past the Government Administration building. "On the west, it will take you to North Abaco," he added.
