Works Ministry wraps up GUY$4.5M road work at Stabroek Market

15th June, 2014

KINGSTON - Commuters and motorists, who frequent the Donkey City, Stabroek Market Square, can traverse the road with ease now that it has been resurfaced.

The Ministry of Public Works’ Force Account Unit (FAU) completed overlaying a large section of the Square on Friday, June 13, 2014 with asphalt concrete to bring the area to a more acceptable standard.

Works Minister, Hon. Robeson Benn, was approached by the City Engineer's Department to execute the rehabilitation works.

Prior to the facelift, the road surface was filled with potholes - making navigation difficult for vehicular traffic and commuters.

The project, which lasted three days, costs the Ministry approximately GUY $4.5M.

Meanwhile, the FAU will commence resurfacing a section of the main access road that leads to the University of Guyana on Monday, June 16, 2014.
