100 lights to be installed along access roads in Mocha, Diamond

street-light-kGeorgetown: Over the years, the Ministry of Public Infrastructure has received several reports of accidents along the access roads of the communities of Mocha and Diamond on the East Bank of Demerara.

These two areas are ones that have experienced rapid development since their creations, thus leading to increased traffic and ultimately a greater likelihood of accidents. One such case is the recent death of motorcyclist Shemroy Cave, who died after colliding with a horse along the Mocha Access Road.

It is necessary that the infrastructure in these communities reflect their growth. Therefore, the Ministry of Public Infrastructure has taken the initiative to have sections of these access roads lit and is accelerating its planned installation of streetlights. This project will see the installation of 100 streetlights in the two communities and is expected to improve the safety and security of the residents.

Further details on this project will be announced at a later date.
