Government is maintaining its commitment to road safety and security, as seen in the many areas that are now illuminated.
Currently, another phase of street lighting is being executed as light poles are being installed along the East Bank Demerara corridor. This project is expected to continue up to Timehri.

The $137M contract has been granted to Cummings Electrical and is expected to be completed in July. This project will see the entire East Bank corridor illuminated. Ruimveldt to Providence already has street lighting.

Lights which were installed by Cummings Electrical Ltd. on the East Bank highway.

Residents along the East Bank have expressed their gratitude to the Government for the initiative which they said will make the area safer and probably reduce accidents.

Through a $241M project, street lights were erected from Better Hope, East Coast Demerara, to Golden Grove. More that 400 lamps were put up.

To date, government has spent billions of dollars to install lights along several roadways in areas from the Russian Embassy to Better Hope (252 lamps), on the Mahaica-Rosignol Highway (619 lamps), Mahaica and Mahaicony bridges and approaches (132 lamps), Timehri to Republic Park (132 lamps), Ruimveldt Police Outpost to Demerara Harbour Bridge, Demerara Harbour Bridge to Vreed-en-Hoop (460 lamps) and Kitty Pump Station to Seawall Bandstand (48 lamps).
