GBARNGA, December 31 (LINA) - At long last, East International has recommenced the pavement of two major streets in the City of Gbarnga, the provincial capital of Bong County. East International was hired early this year to pave the Gbarnga main street and the Madam Suakoko Street.

The pavement, which is being done with cement, connects the One Plus One and Star gas stations as well as the Gbarnga Administrative Building and the Gbarnga School of Theology.

The pavement has been at a standstill for more than four months, prompting concerns among citizens of Bong County.

But the company on Tuesday, December 27, recommenced the pavement along with the laying out of the Broad Street and Madam Suakoko Street.

In line with the contract signed between East International and the leadership of Bong County, the pavement of the two streets is estimated at US$2,750,000.

Already, the county has made a payment of six hundred and seventy-fifty thousand U.S dollars to East International.

The contract was intended to last for one year, but it has suffered setback due to financial constraint facing Bong County.

The County Legislative Caucus in November announced that one million U.S. dollars had been raised in the 2016/2017 budget to finance the project.
