The Guyana Government yesterday advertised for a supervising consultant for the India-financed road from the East Bank of Demerara to the East Coast of Demerara.
An advertisement in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek said that the scope of works includes 7.8 km of virgin road with an asphaltic concrete finish along the main road alignment. It will comprise four lanes, each 3.6m wide and a median creating two traffic lanes in each direction. Concrete drains, sidewalks and a utility corridor will be constructed along the length of the roadway and several safety features will be incorporated.
Further, a two-lane connector road will be constructed at Eccles-Haags Bosch. This road will also be of asphaltic concrete.
India’s Exim-Import Bank has made a line of credit of US$50m available.
The duration of the assignment is expected to be not more than 30 months.
