Covers have been placed over drains, allowing residents and owners along Montrose, East Coast Demerara to better access their properties.This move follows complaints received last week by Stabroek News from business owners that the lack of covers was affecting their business and general access to their properties.When Stabroek News visited the area again yesterday, several covers were observed to have been placed; based on enquiries, the work was done on Sunday, much to the satisfaction of residents and business owners.According to the Department of Public Information (DPI), the works for the East Coast Demerara Road Widening and Improvement Project which began last year August are expected to be completed in August 2019.The project focuses on the widening of the roadway into four lanes between Better Hope and Annandale, thereafter, an asphaltic concrete surface upgrade to Belfield.It was explained that twenty-six structures will be widened to enable the four-lane road and two bridges will be reconstructed.In addition, 11 traffic light signals will be installed along the busy intersections, along with street lights, road safety signs and other speed reduction devices.
