DHB junction to have traffic signals
A plan is in the pipeline to install traffic signals at the junction of the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) and the East Bank Demerara Public Road to reduce traffic congestion.
According to Terrence O’Brien, Engineer, Public Works Ministry, it is hoped that the traffic signals will be installed before Christmas. He noted that the works will include adjustments to the existing thoroughfare.

O’Brien said that engineers have to carry out inspections to ascertain the necessary adjustments to the roadway and the timings for the signals. He noted that a filter-lane for traffic crossing the bridge, heading to Georgetown, will be created. Traffic traversing in this lane will always be flowing.
O’Brien related that preparation works for this project have been ongoing with the culvert at the southern end of the junction being widened weeks ago.
The traffic signals’ primary source of energy will be solar and will be backed up by utility. He noted that the Ministry hopes to have all traffic signals utilize solar power as the main power supply.
