The police have announced moves to ease traffic congestion on East Bank Demerara as works continue to extend the current four-lane from Providence.
In a statement Friday, the Police said that to facilitate the ongoing road construction, motor lorries and container trucks, tractors and trailers will not be permitted to traverse the East Bank Public Road from 07:00hrs. to 09:00hrs. and from 1500hrs. to 17:00hrs. daily from Monday to Friday with effect from Monday until further notice.
The government is currently extending the four-lane highway from Providence to Diamond, several bridges are also under construction. The construction, coupled with an increasing number of vehicles on the road, has been blamed on the traffic woes commuters have been experiencing.
A delay in removing the utilities in a timely manner has also further exacerbated the situation.
It is not the first time that Government has moved to restrict the flow of heavy vehicles during the peak periods.
