Another city road under construction

Oct 08, 2011 News

 

Within a week’s time, the Works Ministry will carry out trials to ascertain the bottlenecks commuters may encounter while traversing the newly constructed road along the Railway Embankment.
The exercise will allow the stretch to function effectively as a one-way route for vehicles being directed by the traffic signal in the southern direction.
According to Terrence O’Brien, Electrical Engineer, the physical construction of the road is completed but minor works remain, hence the road is not open to the traveling public. Before the road opens, commuters need to be educated that the stretch is a one-way.
He noted that while road-markings are completed the vertical road signs are not. It was related that some signs were done previously but from a survey it was determined that they could not work.
The contractor, Gaico Construction Services, is expected to asphalt a mud-covered section of David Street.
O’Brien stated, “Currently the filter lane coming round David Street going west, will be disabled on the western discharge from the railway embankment. This means that you will be traveling with ease while going west into David, south into the embankment, left turn into Sheriff Street, right into Sheriff Street, and north into the embankment.
The construction of this road was part of the Georgetown Road Maintenance Programme 2011.
It formed part of a $105,013,981 contract for the construction and rehabilitation of other roads around Georgetown.
