ROAD REPAIRS TO BEGIN

Seven major road projects are slated to begin Monday as part of the Public Works Department's 3-R project: reconstruction, rehabilitation and resurfacing.
The poor condition of the island's roads has been the target of harsh public criticism in recent weeks.
Work will begin on Route 382 from Splash and Dash car wash to New Tutu. Tyrone Martin, special assistant to the commissioner, said he hopes to have that work completed by Christmas, according to the Daily News.
Work will continue on Raphune Hill. Because of heavy traffic flow, Martin said that work will be done at night.
Other areas to be repaired are Fortuna Road, Crown Mountain Road, Julian Jackson Drive, Donoe Road and Frenchman's Bay Road.
The $2.5 million project was funded by the Federal Highway Administration. All work is expected to be completed by March 1999.
