<p>President Ali confidently announced that the new Demerara River Bridge will be operational soon. This four-lane bridge is set to eliminate traffic congestion for good, he said. </p>
<p>The president expressed heartfelt congratulations to the dedicated engineers and the Ministry of Public Works for their remarkable achievement in completing the Schoonord to Crane Highway in Region Three at such an impressive pace.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>“The four lane will go to Wales, and it will go to Parika,” </em>he added. </strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Works on the bridges along the highway leading to Parika have already started, the president noted.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, with the creation of the Wales Development Zone, thousands of high-paying jobs will be available to Guyanese.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>“This region, with private sector investments alone, has three new shorebases…That is jobs, investments and value creation,” President Ali said. </em></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>He said this is evidence that the private sector has confidence in the government’s plan for the region. </p>
