As part of the push to upgrade the nation’s infrastructure, the Ministry of Public Works (MoPW), said in a release yesterday that it is in the process of building access bridges at Canal Number 1, Canal Number 2, and Belle Vue on the West Bank of Demerara.
However, it noted that the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) had raised some objections with MoPW, as it relates to water flow and how things will be done when the canals have to be cleaned. In response, the Ministry committed to developing new designs so that the projects would progress smoothly.
Following this change of operation, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill went on site to inspect, and to inquire from the contractors, how the work was progressing.
