“As you are to move through Abaco you would see BPL and their large volume of work that they still have left to do, but also you will see the amount of work that is already been undertaken.
“They are in the process of putting up the Poles from one end of Abaco to the next and some of which do have lights on them where there are dangerous curves throughout the highway.
