The PPP/C Government is promising five more years of massive infrastructure development, continuing its successful track record.

“The plan speaks to the country’s industrial transformation, which is critically linked to the infrastructure transformation, which is linked to the development of our human capital…and it is linked to the infrastructure that integrates our regions and opportunities”.

The new strategic goal focuses on two main objectives: unlocking economic potential and enhancing citizens’ quality of life.

The development of these major roads and bridges will connect Guyana with its neighbours, opening new markets and unlocking trade and economic opportunities, improving connectivity between communities and opening more productive land.

Guyanese can look forward to the fulfilment of these commitments since the government’s track record over the past five years has been delivered countrywide.

Resulting in the opening up of once-isolated areas and the upgrading of existing roads and bridges from central Georgetown to far-flung communities in every Region, especially the hinterland.
