EBD four-lane expansion…Traffic to shift to new road by August month-end
By August month-end, traffic traversing the western carriageway of the East Bank Demerara Public Road between Prospect and Demerara Distillers Limited will use the eastern carriageway, which is almost completed.
An unpaved section of the new road at Little Diamond.
This is according to Komal Singh, Managing Director of GAICO Construction and General Service Inc, yesterday.
Singh’s company has done extensive work on the US$5.8M project—working on Lot Two of the East Bank Demerara Public Road four-lane widening project.
The contractor, who began physical works at the ending of 2011 and encountered delays, would most likely meet the November 2014 deadline.
GAICO Construction and General Service Inc. was tasked with converting a portion of canefield into roadway.
It is estimated that the entire 1.55km roadway would be fully paved within two weeks. The contractor was hoping to pave the roadway this weekend but was stymied by inclement weather.
The contractor is currently constructing bridges and installing street lights on the new road.
According to Singh, concrete drainage works and widening of the western side of the road have been completed. To enhance the western carriageway the contractor would have to mill, level and pave the roadway.
