St. Eustatius – The execution of the road project Cherry Tree encountered delays which resulted in the intervention by the principal, which is the Public Entity of St. Eustatius. After several months of negotiations, the Public Entity of St. Eustatius has reached an agreement with the contractors of the Cherry Tree Road project to continue the project that is now scheduled to complete March 2020, since then, work activities on the Cherry Tree Road Project have since resumed.
