Africa-Press – Cape verde. The Movement for Democracy (MpD) stated this Saturday that the roadworks on the São Pedro Latada–São Jorginho road, in Praia, will improve access, especially during rainy periods when the circulation of people and vehicles is blocked.
In statements to the press during the parliamentary group’s visit to the works, MpD deputy Luís Carlos Silva explained that the objective is to closely monitor the progress of the works, evaluate the quality of the execution, and verify the direct impacts on the residents of the area.
As he added, the project represents an investment of approximately R$ 130,000 from the Government and is in the final phase of paving, with the completion of one of the bridges expected by March.
“It is a work that fulfills the purposes of public service. They are putting the final part of the asphalt on the lanes,” he added, emphasizing that there is a deadline to be met.
Luís Carlos Silva also mentioned that the visit allowed for an inspection of the need for signage and the installation of speed bumps.
According to the parliamentarian, this is an intervention that the local community has been waiting for for several years, mainly due to the difficulties of access experienced during the rainy season.
“Generally, when it rains, access to São Pedro is blocked. People can’t get through, vans can’t pass, so it’s a long-standing demand,” he pointed out.
The project covers approximately two thousand meters of road, including bridges, paving, and the renovation of the entrances to the city of São Pedro, guaranteeing, in the party’s view, greater mobility and safety for residents.
According to Luís Carlos Silva, the intervention will also create an alternative entrance and exit to the city, helping to decongest other roads, such as the one in São Filipe, and promoting better circulation for residents and visitors.
According to the deputy, the project will have a direct impact on improving the quality of life of the population, with access and roads.
