Tell we what coming
(Kaieteur News) – Dem boys seh the new Demerara River Bridge really doing its job—most of the time. Off-peak hours, yuh could glide across like yuh in a tourism ad. But come morning rush or evening knock-off, Eccles Roundabout transform into a national test of patience, where time slow down and everybody suddenly very reflective about life choices.
The bridge traffic now must use Heroes Highway, and dem boys seh Heroes Highway doing heroic duty indeed—heroically holding traffic in place. As yuh approach Eccles Roundabout during peak hours, the crawl begins. Not a full stop, mind you, just enough movement to keep hope alive and tempers boiling at the same time. It is during these sacred hours—7 to 9 in the morning and 4 to 6 in the evening—that Eccles Rounadabout asserts itself as the main chokehold of the East Bank.
Dem boys seh the government realize a little late that an overpass at this junction woulda been a bright idea before opening a bridge that invite more vehicles to the party. But is only after the music start and everybody sweating that somebody notice the room too small. Ribbon cut, bridge open, congestion arrive on schedule.
Now we seeing work happening on the eastern and western sides of the roundabout. Big equipment, plenty earth moving, and plenty theories floating around. Some people seh is private development. Others seh is government work to ease congestion. Official word? As scarce as parking in Georgetown during weekdays.
Dem boys seh with more vehicles hitting the road every day—new imports, second-hand specials, and monster truck big enough to block out the sun—peak-hour pressure gon get heavier. If an overpass coming, tell we. If traffic lanes expanding, tell we. If the plan is for citizens to adjust their work hours and develop spiritual resilience, at least announce it properly.
Because outside of peak hours, things manageable. But during rush time, Eccles Roundabout reminding everybody that development without planning is like speed without brakes.
Dem boys seh all we asking for is clarity. Not miracles—just information.
Talk half. Leff half.
