Residents and commuters in Diamond, East Bank Demerara, can now breathe a sigh of relief following major infrastructural upgrades to the road networks in the housing scheme.
The enhancement of 75 key thoroughfares spanning 25 kilometres fulfils a commitment made by President Irfaan Ali after the community had endured subpar roads for decades, a Department of Public Information (DPI) report stated recently.
On Saturday, it said, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill inspected the newly completed roads, noting that the project was executed by the ministry’s Special Project Unit (SPU) at a cost of $690 million. During his visit, he engaged with residents who expressed gratitude for the essential upgrades.
