Buccament Ring Road nearing completion

Work is said to be nearing completion on the Buccament Bay Ring Road Project, regarded as a vital piece of infrastructure upgrade aimed at improving accessibility, safety, and traffic flow within the community.

The 550-metre-long road begins at the Buccament Polyclinic and extends to the beach, forming a one-way route designed for clockwise traffic. It includes a 4.2-metre-wide paved surface, integrated side walks, and a comprehensive drainage system to benefit both motorists and pedestrians.

Project Manager, Damion Allen, highlighted the importance of the development for the surrounding institutions to the Agency for Public Information, noting that “the newly constructed side walks are particularly important for the nearby school and the Polyclinic, providing safer and more convenient access for pedestrians”.

Further, that proper drainage systems are being installed to effectively channel water run-off from the Leeward Highway, which forms part of the final stages of the works.

Funded at a cost of EC $1.976 million, the Buccament Bay Ring Road is part of the Government’s broader commitment to strengthening road infrastructure across St Vincent and the Grenadines. Once completed, the project is expected to significantly enhance community mobility and provide safer, more reliable access to key public spaces, including healthcare and recreational facilities.
