Ogle to Eccles Highway will connect to new Demerara River Bridge

Public Works Minister Juan Edghill announced that the new Ogle to Eccles Highway will be connected to the new Demerara River Bridge soon, allowing persons to travel more easily.

Ashoka Buildcon, the Indian company that built the Ogle to Eccles Highway, has been engaged to continue the road from Eccles to Providence, Edghill disclosed on Monday.

Edghill also highlighted that the cost of roadwork from Eccles to Providence will be charged at the same rate as the Ogle to Eccles Highway.

“Even though there are increases in the construction market, we got it for the same price,” Edghill boasted.

The new Ogle to Eccles Highway was commissioned on Monday. The new Demerara River Bridge, which is expected to significantly address major traffic congestion, should be completed sometime in August.
