The National Works Agency (NWA) is now in the final stages of completion of a major project to rehabilitate the Berkshire roadway in Eastern Westmoreland. This roadway is located along the Seaford Town to Pisgah corridor in Westmoreland.
Community Relations Officer at the NWA’s Western Region, Janel Ricketts says that the project targets approximately 4.4 km of roadway and involves the reshaping and asphalting of the roadway as well as extensive drainage improvement.
