East Coast Bridges & Road Upgrade | Guyana News

Big infrastructure push on Guyana’s East Coast: The Ministry of Public Works is launching a $156 million World Bank-funded project to rebuild bridges over the Mahaica, Mahaicony, and Abary Rivers—and upgrade 27 km of road between them. Designed for safety, resilience, and disaster readiness, the project will open bids in October 2026, with construction wrapping in 24 months. Community input is key—Minister Juan Edghill hosts a July 2026 consultation in Mahaicony to gather feedback from locals, businesses, and transport groups. This is a major step to revitalize Region Five’s transport network. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
