Diamond traffic lights to be operational soon

Dec 06, 2009 News

The Ministry of Public Works and Communication has announced that ongoing works at Diamond, East Bank Demerara, to ease traffic congestion, will be completed by December 15.
Already, the traffic lights have been installed at the busy Diamond Housing Scheme entrance.
The installation of traffic lights in the area is pertinent since there is usually vehicular congestion causing discomfort to commuters.
This project, with an estimated $15M price tag, commenced on November 16.
The scope of the work entails the installation of the traffic lights, the construction of foot bridges and widening of a portion of the East Bank public road.
According to the statement of the Ministry of Public Works, construction of the four foot bridges is in progress.
The piles have been driven to support the timber foot bridges and the abutments are in place.
On the first two bridges at the entrance of the scheme some strings are in place and timber decking still awaits installation.
To facilitate traffic entering and exiting the scheme, a portion of the East Bank public road will be widened to facilitate an extra lane of traffic.
