For many years the Vanard (Venus) to Anse La Raye link road has provided alternate and important access for commuters between the communities of Millet and Anse La Raye. After Hurricane Tomas in 2010 and the Christmas Eve Trough of 2013, the roadway, although still motorable, is compromised and in need of structural rehabilitation

The works on the Vanard (Venus) to Anse La Raye Link Road (SLU-DVRP-VAB-RFB-RDS-01-21) will consist of:

• Earthworks and site clearance
• Paving works
• Drainage works and culverts
• Gabion baskets
• Concrete works
• Retaining walls and slope stabilization

The project was made available through the cooperation between the European Union (EU) through the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the Government of Saint Lucia through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A key aspect of the work of the EEAS is its ability to work closely with the foreign and defense ministries of the member states of the EU and the other EU institutions such as the European Commission, Council, defense, and Parliament. They also programme development cooperation through projects and grants. 

The duration of the 8.7kilometers of roadworks is expected to last twelve (12) months. CIE looks forward to providing the residents of Vanard (Venus) and Anse la Raye with of  the highest quality of workmanship.
