The Liberian Government through the Ministry of Public Works, has said it will soon begin a massive Construction and alleyways clearing activities in Monrovia.

The government said it will demolish structures blocking alleyways and other public access routes across Monrovia and its environs, noting that "the entire country will soon be a construction site."

Public Works Minister Roland Layfette Giddings said notices have already been served to some property owners whose structures obstruct public access routes.

Minister Giddings said the exercise is intended to reopen blocked alleyways, improve movement in communities, and promote better urban planning.

Giddings also declared that “the entire country will be a construction site,” as the government plans to intensify infrastructure development across Liberia. He made the statement recently in Monrovia.

The Works Ministry has over the years demolished structures across Monrovia and its environs, but those areas have in most cases turned into dumpsites, urinary or for opened defecation.
