One of this coun­try’s most his­toric build­ings—the Red House will be re-open Fri­day.

Af­ter al­most nine years of con­struc­tion, the Red House, which served as the seat of this coun­try’s Par­lia­ment, will re­sume sit­tings of the Up­per and Low­er House, but not be­fore pomp and cer­e­mo­ny take place.

The house will be pro­claimed by Pres­i­dent Paula-Mae Weekes and will see a host of dig­ni­taries in at­ten­dance to mark the oc­ca­sion.

To ac­com­mo­date the cer­e­mo­ny, traf­fic re­stric­tions will be in ef­fect in the cap­i­tal city of Port-of-Spain.
