I am wondering if any of $13.7 B to be spent on roads and bridges, will include Middle Road and Independence Boulevard.
It was good to read, according to Minister Singh, Ministry of Finance had allocated $13.7B on roads and bridges in the 2014 budget.It was also mentioned that a feasibility study was completed for the construction of a bypass road from Ogle on the East Coast to East Bank which will open new areas for development and investment and create a second route to reduce the congestion for the East Bank of Demerara traffic.
This is very good and I am sure Guyanese will welcome this new development, whenever it starts and hopefully it can be completed within the time frame and not as the many other projects.

I would like the relevant ministries to look at developing two other roads which will help reduce the traffic:-

(1) Widening of Independence Boulevard (Punt-trench), I believe this can be a four-lane, of which, traffic from (Cemetery Road to La-Penitence Road/Market).
(2) Upgrade and re-pave Middle Road and all of the cross roads (pickets), which will run (North/South) from Middle road to Independence Boulevard.

This will surely reduce traffic and quick access for many households and drivers coming from both directions.
