19 contractors bid for asphaltic overlay works on Heroes Highway
(Kaieteur News) – The Central Housing & Planning Authority (CH&PA) has received 19 proposals from local and overseas contractors for the execution of asphaltic overlay works on the Heroes Highway, East Bank Demerara.
This is according to information provided by the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) which stated that the bids were opened on Tuesday.
Among the 19 bidders are BK International Inc., K.P Thomas & Sons Contracting Inc., Avinash Contracting & Scrap Metal Inc., China Railway First Group CO., Ltd., Ashoka Buildcon Limited, and NAMALCO International Inc.
The Heroes Highway located on the East Bank of Demerara.
Kaieteur News reported that the US$65 million Heroes Highway was commissioned in 2023.
The Heroes Highway, which links Mandela Avenue to Eccles and the new Demerara River crossing, is fast becoming one of the country’s most expensive infrastructure arteries with this new multi-billion-dollar investment adding to the growing price tag of Guyana’s concrete transformation.
Last year, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo stated that the government already had plans to have an asphaltic overlay placed on the highway – his comments followed criticisms from United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Following a visit to Guyana in March 2025, Rubio made reference to the bumpy nature of one of the roads he was driven on, noting that “we almost had concussions.”
“The intent of this project is to improve ride quality, safety, durability and overall structural performance of the roadway. Heroes Highway is a strategic transportation corridor serving the emerging housing developments and critical regional infrastructure,” CHPA stated in its tender document.
The RFP stated that the highway comprises of approximately 12.5 kilometer of existing concrete pavement, inclusive of 13 bridges and three roundabouts. According to the project description, the works involve the rehabilitation and strengthening the existing concrete pavement through a combination of pavement repairs, reinforcement interlayers and asphaltic overlay works in accordance with internationally recognised standards.
