Dominica’s coastal areas, including this key boulevard, have been prone to the effects of climate change, with erosion and flooding from natural forces damaging road surfaces. The rehabilitation project aims to restore the structural integrity of the boulevard and improve its durability to withstand future weather-related challenges.

“We appreciate your patience and support as we work towards a smoother and safer Dame Eugenia Charles Boulevard,” Skerrit added, encouraging the public to stay cautious around the construction zones. Authorities have urged drivers and pedestrians to follow posted signs and observe temporary detours to avoid accidents and ensure smooth traffic flow during the ongoing works.

The project is part of the government’s broader infrastructure development plan, which prioritizes road safety and long-term resilience against environmental threats. Residents and businesses in the area are optimistic about the positive impact these improvements will have on daily commuting and the island’s tourism sector.

As rehabilitation progresses, updates will continue to be shared with the public, ensuring transparency and safety as the government works to complete the project.
