At least 15 households in Charity, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) will soon benefit from greater ease in traversing the sixth cross street in the new housing scheme, as a $15.2 million contract was signed to facilitate its upgrade on Monday.

This is according to a release posted by the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) for the region.

The release states that the contract was signed between the RDC and GAVKO Construction & Supplies to upgrade the 265-metre road to a concrete structure.

Regional Executive Officer, Susanah Saywack, Regional Engineer, Kawan Suchit, Superintendent of Works (Roads), Saywack Persaud along with the contractor, were present at the signing.

Persons living in these areas were also informed of the work that would be undertaken.

Additionally, the team inspected ongoing works at Second Cross Street, Old Housing Scheme, Charity.
