THE National Works Agency (NWA) has announced that work on Oakland Crescent and Oakland Road in St Andrew will resume today, after residents on Monday decried the state of the roads and questioned the suspension of the repairs which started under the Shared Prosperity through Accelerated Improvement to our Road Network (SPARK) programme in February.

In a media release on Wednesday, manager of communication and customer services at the NWA Stephen Shaw said the work was halted because of technical issues which have now been resolved.

Shaw said the contractors, China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC), had encountered challenges obtaining the necessary fittings for pipe installation works, which significantly impacted the initial schedule.
