With speed limits varying from 30 – 80 km/h, the Eccles to Mandela Avenue alternative road on the East Bank of Demerara will be equipped with smart speed-monitoring systems to ensure compliance with traffic regulations, according to President Irfaan Ali.
Ali made the announcement at the commissioning of the road link last night.
The road link which was the brainchild of President Ali during his time as Minister of Housing and Water but was shelved when the APNU+AFC coalition came into power, was constructed to the tune of $2.646 billion by almost one dozen contractors. It is the first phase of the project which is intended to link Great Diamond on the East Bank to Mandela Avenue in South Georgetown.
