“So when vehicles come to park, on both sides we are putting in crash-bars so that even if a driver accelerates, they would not run off the edge of the trench.”
With those works substantially completed, Edghill said he will be signalling to President Irfaan Ali “very soon” to commission the space.
“So this aspect of the work, within another week, it will be done and opened for the public to use.”
Meanwhile, work is simultaneously ongoing to retrofit the building between Parade Street and Main Street along the Lamaha Corridor.
This is set to be transformed into an Art Gallery and Food Court and a two-month timeline has been given for that phase of the project to be completed. A similar exercise is being undertaken at Durey Lane, Campbellville, Georgetown.
The new recreational area is part and parcel of President Irfaan Ali’s One Guyana vision.
