Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill, has announced a comprehensive overhaul of the main access road along the Essequibo Coast, citing its deteriorating condition and the increasing traffic load, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).
Speaking on Monday at a contract signing ceremony in Region Two, Edghill outlined the urgent need for the revamp and detailed what was described as an innovative approach to minimise disruption during construction.
“We are looking at getting the entire Essequibo Coast road redone. We are looking at the methodology where the asphalt that is there right now could be dug up, milled through a process, mixed with fresh asphalt, and re-laid almost immediately,” the minister said.
