Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

According to Dominica Vibes News, the Chinese Government provided assistance for the new two lane York Valley Bridge Project (援多约克峡谷桥项目). According to the Government of Dominica, the Chinese Government provided a grant for the project. The original bridge was damaged following the collapse of the Matthieu Dam in July 2011. The construction of the new bridge was implemented by China Railway 14th Bureau Group Corporation Limited at an approximate cost of $11,000,000 USD. The project commenced in September 2016 and was scheduled to be completed in 12 months. However, due to the passage of Hurricane Maria in September 2017, the project was suspended. On May 21, 2018, the project was resumed and expected to be completed in July 2018. The handover ceremony for the York Valley Bridge Project was held on July 13, 2018.
