“It is a tribute to one of the greatest orators and visionaries that Mauritius has known,” said Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth, paying tribute to the late Sir Anerood Jugnauth at the inauguration of the SAJ Bridge on Sunday, March 10th.
After being postponed several times, mainly due to recent unfavorable weather conditions, the ceremony took place in the presence of cabinet members and supporters of the MSM.
During his speech, the Prime Minister spoke about his father’s vision for the country.
“We admire him for his courage and determination. He charted a new destiny for a small country like Mauritius and was able to put our country on the world map,” he said. “We embody his values in our government.”
The SAJ Bridge is the result of over five years of work and an investment of Rs 1.7 billion. With a total length of one kilometer, including the suspended bridge crossing the gorges of the Grande-Rivière-Nord-Ouest for 330 meters, it connects the Port-Louis/Saint-Jean route to the M1 highway.
The Viaduct will be open from Monday, March 11th from 6 am onwards.
