Government believes that once it remains in power it can finish two major projects in two years to solve the current congestion woes on the East and West Demerara areas.
The projects will be a new Demerara River bridge and an East Bank Demerara link to Ogle, East Coast Demerara.
The Coalition Government and any other will be under pressure to find solutions quickly to the issue.
About 10,000 vehicles use the current 40-year-old Demerara Bridge daily. It has been leading to major, daily congestion on especially the East Bank road and Vreed-en-Hoop road, West Bank Demerara.
A new bridge would have seen overhead passes that takes vehicles past the East Bank road to a new road linkage located east of the current East Bank Demerara Public Road that would take traffic to the Timehri airport or Ogle, East Coast.
According to Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson, yesterday, two years is very doable for the two projects.
Already, all the main ingredients of the preparatory works have been completed.
According to Patterson, it would be a disservice not to bring the projects into fruition, for the sake of the suffering commuters.
The Minister stressed that there have been attempts to delay the projects.
Government had announced a new place for the new bridge- at Houston, on the East Bank of Demerara and at Versailles, West Bank Demerara.
