Mocha Access Road rehab attracts $564M bid
The Mocha Access Road, East Bank Demerara, is set to be rehabilitated under the Ministry of Housing and Water – Central Housing and Planning Authority, after the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) yesterday opened nine bids – one for $564M.
Last year, residents protested the deplorable conditions of the road and even erected a makeshift blockade on one stretch of the roadway to prevent traffic from entering or leaving the village, in an effort to gain an audience with Minister of Public Works and Communications, Robeson Benn.
The residents had blamed truck drivers with overladen vehicles – delivering construction material to various housing schemes – for the thoroughfare’s rapid deterioration.
With an engineer’s estimate of $399,999,353 the bids that were submitted are as follows:
