Northern side of Carifesta Ave to be widened

Two of the signs at the starting of the construction.

Carifesta Avenue will be widened on the northern side and the contractors on the project are hoping that the $180 million improvement works would be finished by the end of this month.

The supervising engineer has meanwhile refuted claims that there are insufficient safety signs on the road.

Work on the road started late last month and Stabroek News was informed by Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson that the improvements will see a median with lights and a widening of the road.
