Reconstruction of drainage structures between Belladrum and Cotton Tree, West Coast Berbice, is expected to commence in mid-June. The contractors are currently mobilizing resources.
According to Sunil Ganesh, Public Works Ministry Bridge Engineer, this development comes under Phase Three of the Transport Infrastructure Rehabilitation Programme, funded by the Inter-American Development Bank. Works will be executed in two Lots by two construction companies.
Kares Engineering Inc. will be rebuilding four bridges and six culverts from Belladrum to Experiment, to a tune of US$2.6M. And for US$2.7M, V. Dalip Enterprise will be rehabilitating four bridges and six culverts from Experiment to Cotton Tree.
The contracts were awarded last month and each has a 16-month duration. The defects liability period is one year.
The programme commences months after Phase Two of the Transport Infrastructure Rehabilitation Programme concluded. That programme saw the development of 25 bridges and culverts from Timehri to Rosignol.
Under that project, Courtney Benn Contracting Services installed 16 culverts to a tune of US$2.8M between Garden of Eden and Timehri. While in 2009, BK International rehabilitated the Abary Bridge at a cost of US$350,000.
R. Bassoo and Sons Construction Company constructed eight bridges to the tune of US$3.4M.
The Inter-American Development Bank provided US$6.8M for that programme.
