$2.6 billion has been set aside for the rehabilitation of the entire Soesdyke-Linden Highway.
Asked for an update on these budgeted works for the highway, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill only told the News Room that the government is in the “design stage and finalising for the procurement to begin for the road.”
He did not provide an estimated timeline for the completion of the project. Instead, he said, “It is budgeted for this year and we are advancing it for 2022.”
Meanwhile, Jagdeo said that the rehabilitation works at this highway are part of a wider infrastructural agenda.
“We badly need to upgrade the infrastructure of the future,” he told Lindeners and other residents of Region 10 on Sunday.
