Cabinet recently gave its no-objection to the award of a contract for the design of the West Bank Demerara and Canal Polder Roads, says Dr. Roger Luncheon, Cabinet Secretary.
Addressing media operatives at his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing on Wednesday, at the Office of the President, he enlightened that the contract is valued at US$586,000.
According to Dr. Luncheon, the designs cater for both Canal No.1 and Canal No.2 Polder Roads, leading from the West Bank Demerara Public Road to the Conservancy.
