The seventh phase would completed on May 10, 2021.

Additional details

Project #56148 seems to cover Phase six, but also it seems to aggregate all first six phases into one project. Linked Facebook video where officials from the Chinese Economic and Commercial Office at Dominica give an update seventh phase's progress, the presentation starts at the 51:00 min mark. During the project history portion of the presentation, which is at the beginning, the Chinese official said that the seventh phase is a continuation of the overall project. There were no indications that financing came from a different agreement (see "The seventh phase...").
