Works moving apace at New Amsterdam synthetic track

WORKS are moving apace on the synthetic track at New Amsterdam, Berbice. The FIFA-standard floodlights have been installed, while work is underway on the ground and pavilion.

It is understood that the synthetic materials have also been purchased and are awaiting installation.

In October 2018, BK International Inc. was awarded the contract to the tune of approximately $141 million for the Region Six track to be built at Burnham Park.

This track will complement the recently constructed synthetic track at the Bayroc Community Centre Ground in Wismar, Linden, and the National Track and Field Facility, at Leonora, West Coast Demerara.

The eight-lane 400-metre track, when completed, will benefit hundreds of athletes within the East Berbice-Corentyne region and other parts of Guyana and provide job opportunities.

More so, at the 61st National Cycling, Swimming, and Track and Field Championships, several athletes from districts within Berbice performed credibly in the track and field segment, some even setting new records.
