New Bypass to Ease West Demerara Congestion

The government is fast-tracking a new bypass road between Tuschen and Ruimzeight to slash traffic jams in Region Three, with bids opening July 13th after a pre-bid site visit on the 8th. Designed to divert lighter traffic from the choked West Demerara Public Road, the 13-lot project will take eight months to build and is a temporary fix while a major four-lane highway from the Demerara River Bridge to Parika gets underway. With tens of thousands of new cars entering the country yearly, President Irfaan Ali and VP Bharrat Jagdeo stress the urgency to upgrade bridges, connect existing roads, and ease delays that now stretch two to three hours. The government will award contracts to the lowest qualified bidders — one lot per bidder — to ensure broad competition. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
