Ramotar stated that “some work” will begin on the East Bank Berbice road after the budget has been passed in the National Assembly “to bring some relief there”.He wants to ensure that the people there “have good transportation as well”. Many vehicle operators have ‘jacked up’ their fares or have pulled out of the area as one of their designated routes since the road, from Overwinning to Everton, has become impassable over the past months.Remedial works have been underway in recent weeks by contractor H. Nauth & Sons.Meanwhile, Minister Benn said, “We are doing just now some small intervention with Mr. Nauth”. He said that an immediate rehabilitation of the road will cost some $90M. “This design takes us to Everton”. Benn noted that the design of the road has to be revised since the administration has taken into consideration, the large, heavy- duty vehicles that have been using that roadway in recent times.The road also leads to a few industrial companies such as a cement- bagging facility at Everton; a road construction company at Glasgow and a new fertiliser plant.The President then visited the West Canje Road,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China, the East Canje Road and New Forest where he inspected the brand- new road built throughout these areas by H.

He added that there had to be a one- meter widening of the road since considerations were made for passage of trucks.“A lot of trucks are building up their size to take on more weight and [these trucks are] putting that weight on the road…the road can take the weight but the trucks need double axles…when you pack all of these things on a single axle truck and concentrate all this weight on the road,Wholesale NFL Jerseys USA, that is what contributes to the deterioration of the road…people are boarding up their trucks”, he added.“RAPID ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN BERBICE”“We also had the opportunity to interact with citizens in all the various areas we went to; East Bank Berbice,Authentic Jerseys Cheap, East and West Canje; Black Bush and we also listened to their concerns”, he noted.President Ramotar was pleased by the entire visit especially since seeing “rapid economic development in the [Berbice] area…there are sawmills and therefore, economic activity has grown enormously”Touching on the issue of blackouts in the region,<a href="http://www.cheapn
