Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>In coordination with Central Equatoria state authorities, the national government has launched a 35-kilometer road upgrading project for the capital Juba worth $35 million.<\/p>\n

The launch of the Juba urban roads will include Freedom Bridge Road, Gudele-Rock City, Hai Tarawa, Hai Mauna, Suk Maleshia, Miya Saba, and Hai Referendum roads.<\/p>\n

Others include the riverside to Konyo-konyo, Kator Church to the bridge, Juba-Bor highway to the Ministry of Wildlife, and Nimule highway to the Ministry of Wildlife.<\/p>\n

The road project is expected to be completed in one year.<\/p>\n

According to the National Ministry of Roads and Bridges, the government has contracted Africa Resource Corporation, or ARC for the project.<\/p>\n

Simon Mijok Mijak is the national minister of roads and bridges.<\/p>\n

He said the project is being implemented after the directive of President Salva Kiir.<\/p>\n

Simon spoke at the launch of the Juba urban roads upgrading project along the Gudele-Rock City road in Juba this morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe success we have today is a part of the directive of H.H. the President that he must see a solution for urban roads, and I thank him for that because if it was not his directive, we wouldn\u2019t be in this place,\u201d Minister Mijok said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Central Equatoria came alone, or the mayor, without the national government, the implementation would not be like this today. So coming together like a government, nothing will be impossible, because we represent the people, we are not representing ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cFacilitation of movement, we are happy for it, the congestion of Lou (Boaba) or other places will not be there anymore, it will be in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his part, the governor of Central Equatoria state said the state government will ensure security is provided during the implementation of the project.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Adil Anthony also assured that once completed the state government will maintain the cleanness of the roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are seriously supporting this project until it is completed without any problem, providing security and some construction materials. Mr. Minister as a state, we will also cooperate with you to make sure these internal roads that are being worked on are kept clean,\u201d said Governor Adil.<\/p>\n

Engineer Kur John is the project manager of ARC.<\/p>\n

He said the company has already contracted 12 companies for the speedy implementation of the roads.<\/p>\n

Kur added that a one-kilometre asphalt road will cost roughly one million dollars.<\/p>\n

\u201cARC is ready to implement the government directives, we have deployed our sub-contractors, and we are here to implement the directives of our government and our citizens,\u201d said Kur.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis work has already started with the launching of today and the mobilization that has been done which you are seeing now shows that the work has already started.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this project, we have about 12 sub-contractors, and we have deployed them on different roads, nationals, and some foreigners. Normally for an ideal asphalt work, it always costs about a million dollars per kilometer up to the asphalt level.\u201d<\/p>\n
