(No. B/372) Mr N. Beejan (Second Member for Grand’ Baie and Poudre D'or) asked the Minister of National Infrastructure whether, in regard to Vingt Pieds Road from Grand’Baie to Cap Malheureux, he will state when resurfacing works will be effected thereat, indicating the expected start and completion dates thereof and, if not, if consideration will be given for budgetary provisions to be secured therefor for the next financial year.
Madam Speaker, the Vingt Pieds (B45) Road connects the villages of Grand Baie and Cap Malheureux and may be divided into four stretches, namely – (i) Stretch 1 – from roundabout near La Croisette to junction with Plaine des Papayes (B11) Road near Shell filling station, over an approximate length of 1 km; (ii) Stretch 2 – from its junction with Plaine des Papayes (B11) Road to its junction with Vieux Moulin (B165) Road, over an approximate length of 1.2 km; (iii) Stretch 3 – from its junction with Vieux Moulin (B165) Road to the first roundabout of Cap Malheureux Bypass, over an approximate length of 2.2 km; and (iv) Stretch 4 – from the first roundabout of Cap Malheureux Bypass to its junction with the Mon Choisy Cap Malheureux (B13) Road, over an approximate length of 1.6 km.
51 Madam Speaker, I am informed by the RDA that the Stretch 2 and Stretch 4 are in fairly good conditions. As regard other stretches of the Vingt Pieds (B45) Road, during the current Financial Year 2024-2025, the RDA will proceed with resurfacing works along Stretch 3, namely from Vieux Moulin (B165) Road to the first roundabout of the Cap Malheureux Bypass. Works Order to the tune of Rs12.5 million has already been issued in this respect and works are expected to start in the third week of April and will be completed by the end of the month. Madam Speaker, I am informed that as regards Stretch 1, from La Croisette roundabout to its junction with Plaine des Papayes (B11) Road, the presence of cracks and settlements have been noted. The RDA has, accordingly, earmarked funds for resurfacing works along that stretch during the Financial Year 2025-2026.
Yes!
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Will the hon. Minister inform the House whether the resurfacing works at Chemin Vingt Pieds, Grand Baie, includes additional improvements such as drainage upgrades, pedestrian pathways or street lighting to enhance road safety? Thank you.
Madam Speaker, the original question concerns the resurfacing of an existing road. So, there are no additional drain works or lighting. But anyway, I will ask the RDA to carry out a survey. If need be, we will see and do the needful if funds are available.
Of course! Thank you, hon. Minister! Now, the Second Member for Rivière des Anguilles and Souillac, Mr Jhummun! CONSTITUENCY NO. 13 – ASBESTOS HOUSING UNITS – DISMANTLING & REDEPLOYMENT PLAN
