Around 4,000 residents of the North and Central Rupununi Districts, of Region Nine, are expected to benefit from a soon-to-be constructed bypass road, for which a $200 million contract has been signed.
The Department of Public Information (DPI) reported on Friday that the construction of the 70-mile long road will commence soon following the signing of the contract between the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), JR Construction Incorporated along with B and R Construction.
The DPI report noted that the road is part of a larger project to transform public infrastructure in the hinterland.
