COMMUTERS and motorists who frequent ‘Donkey City’, in the vicinity of the Stabroek Market Square, can now traverse the area with ease, following the resurfacing of the roadway there. 

According to a release from the Ministry of Public Works, its Force Account Unit (FAU) on Friday “completed overlaying a large section of the Square with asphalt concrete to bring the area to a more acceptable standard.”
This was after Works Minister, Mr. Robeson Benn, was approached by the City Engineer’s Department to execute the rehabilitation works.
Prior to the rehabilitation, the Ministry said, the road was in such a deplorable state, that it made navigation difficult for both vehicles and pedestrians.
The project, which lasted three days, cost the Ministry approximately G$4.5M.
Meanwhile, work on resurfacing a section of the main access road to the University of Guyana is set to begin today, courtesy also of the FAU.
