The road from the Mahaica Market to Cane Grove will soon be rehabilitated.
This was announced yesterday by Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill during a visit to the area.
According to Edghill, “Cane Grove was forgotten for many, many years. When we were in Government the last time, we did this road and we brought development to Cane Grove and it’s obvious, that this road was not maintained and it is now in a very bad shape.”
According to a release from the ministry, Edghill committed to rehabilitating the road from the Mahaica Market to Cane Grove. In addition, three community streets will also be done.
Edghill, the release said, was keen to note that contractors will not be allowed to sign contracts for jobs and not commence mobilization.
The visit to Cane Grove was one of the several stops made by Edghill on Friday. In Haslington on the East Coast of Demerara, the release said that the Minister inspected the condition of the roads and a recently completed bridge. The approach to the structure was in a bad shape and urgent remedial works were ordered.
In Enmore at Robert’s Square, Edghill was notified of an ongoing bridge construction, which was not very pleasing to the residents, who complained that substandard materials were being used, among others. As such, Edghill instructed his engineers to work along with the NDC to ensure the main bridges are operable shortly.
