By Staff Editor Sun, October 11 2026, 2:07 AM GMT-4

The transformation of the Parika Ferry Stelling continues to take shape, according to a release yesterday from the Ministry of Public Works.

Minister within the Ministry of Public Works, Madanlall Ramraj, yesterday inspected the ongoing works, where river defence works have significantly advanced, with the area now fully sealed to protect against flooding. He was accompanied by Minister within the Ministry of Agriculture, Vickash Ramkissoon.

Construction of the stelling is approximately 15% completed, with pile cap works underway ahead of the installation of precast beams.

Further, the diversion route has been completed, allowing cargo exceeding 20 tonnes to once again be transported through the facility, the release added.
