The design for a rehabilitated Stabroek wharf is currently being finalised, according to Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson, who says the project will be going for tender later this year.
Speaking to Stabroek News on Sunday, Patterson said after the design for the wharf is finalised, bids would be invited for the construction in October. Afterward, he added, construction would possibly start in early 2019.
In 2016, Stabroek News had reported that the project would be funded through the United Kingdom Caribbean Infrastructure Fund (UKCIF), which had allocated £53.2 million (around $16 billion) to Guyana.
