LBI Estate road project reaches 80% completion

The La Bonne Intention (LBI) Estate Road Project is currently 80 per cent complete and remains on schedule for completion by the end of October 2026. The $1.3 billion project, which began in February 2026, is being executed by R&B Investment Incorporated.

The development involves widening approximately 800 metres of roadway from the railway embankment toward the GUYSUCO estate, converting the existing two-lane road into a four-lane access route. Paving works are scheduled to begin next week. Once finished, the road will serve as the primary access for the LBI Young Professionals Scheme, which has been expanded to house roughly 1,000 residents, and will improve connectivity to LBI, Chateau Margot, and Success.

In addition to road expansion, the project includes significant utility infrastructure upgrades. Guyana Power and Light (GPL) is replacing wooden poles with concrete structures, and Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) is upgrading the network by replacing six-inch pipes with eight-inch pressure pipes to improve resilience.
