Government is mulling the expansion of the New Amsterdam to Moleson Creek thoroughfare as it anticipates increased vehicular traffic in a few years via the planned Suriname to Guyana River Bridge and other projects.
At a press conference last week Monday, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo said that government is currently in the planning stages of a road expansion project for the ancient county. It has been more than a decade since any major infrastructural upgrades have been done on the approximately 90 KM stretch of road. Jagdeo noted that funds from the next budget will be allocated for either an 8-foot expansion or conversion into a four-lane highway.
