Eastern carriageway along Grove Public Road reopens

The eastern carriageway in the vicinity of Grove on the East Bank corridor is currently open – though not fully finished, Public Works Minister Bishop Juan Edghill noted – to motorists and vehicles, resulting in a smooth flow of traffic.
The Minister discussed the project while visiting the site early Thursday morning, where he engaged contractors and representatives from the various utility providers.

He met with representatives from One Communication, ENet, Digicel, and Guyana Power and Light (GPL) to talk about moving utility poles that were slowing down the project.
The contractors and utility company representatives briefed the Minister on their relocation efforts to date.
The visit by Minister Edghill follows a meeting held by His Excellency Mohamed Irfaan Ali, with business owners and residents on the East Bank who are being inconvenienced by the road construction.
Speaking to the Department of Public Information (DPI), Minister Edghill said, “Wires [belonging mainly to telecommunication companies] are on poles that must be removed to be able to get the western carriageway completed.”
He highlighted how much freer traffic will become when it is a completed four-lane road and assured that Guyanese will be happy for the less stressful commute.
The ongoing Grove-Diamond Road Widening project on the said Grove-Diamond Public Roads forms part of the broader infrastructural upgrades along the East Bank corridor.
