Jan 31, 2026 News

(Kaieteur News) – The government has allocated a sum of $15.1 billion to the Ministry of Public Works to advance the Palmyra to Moleson Creek four lane highway in Region Six.

This was announced by Senior Minister with the responsibility for Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh on Monday as he presented this year’s $1.558 trillion budget.

Highlighting a number of key road projects which monies have been allocated for, the senior minister said this year government will be “advancing construction of the Palmyra to Moleson Creek four lane highway, for which $15.1 billion is budgeted.”

The project is pegged at US$604 million.

According to a recent Department of Public Information article, the project has been segmented into three lots. Lot one spans from Canje Bridge to Johns, while Lot two commences from Bloomfield to Number 54 Village. Lot three continues from Number 55 Village to Moleson Creek.

Minister of Public Works Bishop Juan Edghill, during a recent visit to the project, said the highway will feature wider carriageways, improved geometry, safer parking, street lighting, and modern safety standards.

“Minister Edghill noted that the project is closely linked to other major infrastructure plans outlined in Budget 2026, including a new four-lane high-span bridge across the Berbice River and continued discussions with Suriname on a bridge over the Corentyne River,” DPI reported.
