Harbour Bridge: the Strung Project
The Harbour Bridge, which will stretch over 2.7 kilometers of the Royal College of Port Louis at Pier D will probably starts in March or April next year. Its construction will leverage private and public funds of around Rs 8.3 billion.

It is in 2014, probably in March or April, the Harbour Bridge will be initiated. This project is waiting for two administrative steps. Namely, the choice of the Central Procurement Board on foreign consortiums that will participate in the Public Private Partnership and the green light from the Cabinet. What is expected in a few weeks.

The Harbour Bridge , which will stretch over 2.7 kilometers of the Royal College of Port Louis at Pier D, should reduce the density of traffic on the only way to direct access to the capital. Its construction will leverage private and public funds of around Rs 8.3 billion. The toll is considered a serious option to refinance. Residents of Salinas located on the route to be moved. The Ministry of Lands and Housing has offered compensation to the families who will be sixty dispossessed of their land. But almost all people do not agree with the amounts. This is particularly the case Pondard Marcel Gervais, who lived in the neighborhood for 33 years and whose property is estimated at "only" Rs 1.2 million.

The Harbour Bridge , which crosses the whole port is part of a series of major infrastructure projects, including road Sorèze-Coromandel exchangers Pont Fer, Phoenix and other Quai D Earth Red as well as the tunnel of Ring Road .
