Government and Arcelor Mittal have signed an agreement for the pavement of the Ganta-Yekepa Highway.

Arcelor Mittal is to provide the funding for the pavement of the road while the government will monitor the project.

Speaking during the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, the Minister of Public Works said construction work on the 44 miles road will begin by October this year.

Minister Luseni Donzo said the project would be completed by June 2010.

The Public Works Minister disclosed during the pavement of the road, a modern bridge would also be constructed.

The Chief Executive Officer of Arcelor Mittal Liberia said the project was in fulfillment of a request made to the company by President Ellen-Johnson Sirleaf.

Mr. Joseph Matthews said the company was committed to the development agenda of Liberia.

According to Mr. Matthews, the company would contract a road construction company to carryout the project
