The completion date for phase one of the SPARK (Shared Prosperity through Accelerated Improvement to our Road Network) programme has been officially revised from the end of 2026 to March 31, 2027, says Works Minister Robert Morgan, who stressed on Wednesday that the administration is prioritising quality and comprehensive infrastructure — such as installing water and sewer utilities alongside repaving — over rushed, short-term patching.
“I know that people want the work done quickly. So do I, but speed without quality is not success,” said Morgan as he made his contribution to the 2026-2027 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives.
The minister pushed back against criticisms of SPARK and outlined that several road projects are far advanced.
