THE Mocha access road, East Bank Demerara which is expected to be completed by the end of this month will become the main right of entry to several new housing schemes that are being developed along the corridor, in areas located directly behind the Guyana National Stadium.

The road work is  about 95 percent completed with 100 percent achievement expected in the next three to four weeks, according to Project Manager of the  Central Housing and Planning Authority, Fazal Wahab, along with Project Manager of BK International, Charles Sobers who spoke with the media on site on Wednesday. The contract is being executed by BK International at a cost of $330M.
Wahab said the five drainage structures that are being constructed at strategic locations along the road to drain the water from Providence into the Mocha canal, and eventually through the Mocha sluice, are still to be completed.
The new Mocha road is two miles long and 22 feet wide. It facilitates access into the remigrants’, the Providence moderate and the existing Mocha-Arcadia housing schemes. The road would especially benefit the Mocha residents who, prior to its construction, were experiencing difficulty in travelling in and out of that village.
The Ministry, having listened to the concerns of the people, as well towards its goal of putting the necessary infrastructure in place to facilitate the government’s programme, reconstructed the road from a sand level to an asphaltic surface.
