Project narrative
On August 29, 2023, a handover ceremony was held for the completion of the Community Convenience Bridge in the parish of St. Patrick, Grenada. The project was funded by the Chinese Embassy in Grenada and was constructed to span the Duquesne River, providing safer and more convenient pedestrian access for local residents. The opening ceremony was attended by Chinese Ambassador Wei Hongtian and Grenadian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Trade and Export Development Joseph Andall, along with other local officials. The financial value and terms of the funding were not disclosed in public sources, nor were the construction contractor or the project’s implementation timeline.
