No feasibility study was conducted for the new road link from Diamond to Eccles, East Bank Demerara, Minister of Housing and Water Collin Croal has told the National Assembly.
In written responses to questions posed by opposition member Annette Ferguson on the project, Croal explained that the project was conceptualised during President Irfaan Ali’s leadership of the Ministry of Housing and Water almost a decade ago.
During that time, he said, designs for the alternative road link, which seeks to reduce the traffic congestion on the East Bank thoroughfare, was done by the projects department of the Central Housing and Planning Authority.
