After months of preparations, French company finally began construction work on the new retaining wall project in the autumn near international airport Melville Hall of Dominica. The project adjoining Dominica's international airport is set to be completed in the next five months.

The company official told WIC News that the 6.3 million dollars (East Caribbean Dollar) project is started to channelize the stream to beat the significant progressions of the waterway to enter Melville Hall Airport. "Under this project, the company is set to build a wall on the airport side of the river to channelize it towards the Atlantic Ocean, so that overflow of water in flood situation can be controlled."

However, it is to be mentioned that Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit promises the new state of the art international airport, but until the time airport is not built, it is need of great importance to give basic conveniences to the Melville Hall Airport.
