Disruption of traffic on East Coast as paving commences
Paving of sections of the East Coast Demerara roadway is set to begin Tuesday, the Ministry of Public Infrastructure said yesterday.
The Ministry of Public Infrastructure yesterday said that critical paving works is set to begin on the East Coast Demerara four-lane roadway.
According to the ministry, the asphaltic concrete paving operations for the public road widening and improvement project – Better Hope to Belfield Village- will commence on Tuesday, October 16, 2018. “These works will be executed on the eastbound lanes between the villages of Better Hope and Montrose,” the ministry said.
“Consequently, preparatory works for the paving operations are necessary and will commence on Saturday, October 13, 2018 which will result in the closure of the eastbound lanes within this section.”
The ministry urged motorists and pedestrians to exercise caution and observe all caution and directional signs, particularly in the vicinity of the works.
The project is being carried out by China Railway First Group Limited and is costing at least US$45M. It will include walkways, lighting and other safety features.
