The Public Works Ministry is addressing traffic congestion at the Soesdyke–Linden Highway Junction by improving road conditions and implementing traffic management.
Minister Juan Edghill confirmed that necessary repairs will be made promptly, accommodating rush-hour traffic.
The work will be executed through a partnership between the contractors involved in both the highway resurfacing and the Good Success to Timehri project.
“So within a couple of days we can get this cleaned up. It’s going to be a joint approach headed by the Special Projects Unit, in collaboration with the contractor on the Linden-Soesdyke and the Good Success to Timehri [project] and we’ll square up here because we are building an expanded roundabout here, with drainage and all the rest of it,” the minister explained.
This is being done under the Good Success to Timehri East Bank Road Project. Further, a billboard that was obstructing the view of motorists at the junction will be removed.
The Ministry says the immediate focus is on improving existing conditions, while longer-term works continue to reduce congestion and improve safety along the East Bank corridor.
