Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced plans to expand the Public Works Department’s workforce as part of a nationwide road rehabilitation drive.

Speaking on Pointe FM, Browne urged jobseekers to apply as the department prepares to hire additional staff and engineers to support ongoing infrastructure upgrades.

The initiative includes night repair crews already active on roads such as Herbert’s Road and Newgate Street, ahead of a major $100 million project funded by local bank loans.

The loan will be repaid through recently increased vehicle licensing fees.
