– Govt. looks for Indian financing
The Ministry of Housing and Water has commenced work on a massive outlay of road infrastructure across the country. One of the main projects that the Ministry is at present focusing on for the immediate future, is a new alternative bypass stretching from Diamond, East Bank Demerara to Ogle on the East Coast.
This project is currently being designed, according to Minister of Housing and Water, Irfaan Ali. According to a Government statement appearing last evening, a feasibility study has been completed for this project and has since been submitted to the Indian Government for financing.
As the Ministry awaits the decision from India, it has been completing all surveys and designs for the project. The Minister explained that the ministry has been putting itself in a state of readiness to go out to tender.
“Notwithstanding this, the Ministry is working on and has completed a number of road networks leading to Diamond, and as well, constructing a number of primary connectors (roadways), that will establish a link between the existing East Bank Demerara road and the new alternative highway/bypass that is to be constructed.”
Thus far, primary connectors have been completed in the following areas: Eccles, Providence, Herstelling, Perseverance, Mocha and Covent Garden, according to Minister Ali, while work is at present ongoing at Little Diamond.
In addition, there is also the construction of secondary connecting roads, and Ali says that at least five of these stretching from Eccles to Herstelling have been completed and are being used.
“The Ministry in support of urbanisation of the new housing developments, with the support from community and regional based projects, has been putting in place infrastructure such as schools and multi-purpose centres.”
The Ministry said it has executed and completed an important road in Region Three that offers an alternative access to a number of new and developing schemes, including the Parfaite Harmonie, Schoonord and the Rect-Door-Zee Housing Schemes.
