As Guyana prepares to celebrate its 58th Independence Anniversary in Linden, the Guyana Police Force has implemented new traffic arrangements to ensure a smooth flow of vehicles in the mining town.
Superintendent Sherwin Henry, Officer in Charge (O/C) of the Traffic Division Ten, provided details on the plans.
Superintendent Henry stated that effective traffic management would be in place before, during, and after the official flag-raising ceremony.
Adequate police ranks will be deployed to ensure minimal to no congestion, allowing Lindeners and visitors to enjoy the celebrations on Saturday night without traffic issues.
Key traffic directions were highlighted by Superintendent Henry. Traffic will not be permitted to travel west along Pitman and Mora Streets.
Additionally, Greenheart Street will be closed from Independence Avenue to Damon Avenue. Motorists heading to the Wismar Shore will need to use Dakama Circle to access the Five Corner area.
Parking arrangements have also been addressed. Designated parking areas will be available, and drivers are advised to follow the guidelines to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow.
The national celebrations will take place at the McKenzie Sports Club Ground, promising a night of pomp and ceremony as Guyana marks its independence milestone.
