Vendors operating along ‘E’ Field Sophia Road receive a newly completed tarmac market area. The Ministry of Public Works hands over the facility to support vendors’ continued trade while road-expansion works proceed smoothly.
The handover includes the drawing of lots for vendors to use the new space. Kaieteur News reports the tarmac can accommodate about 70 vendors and includes two walkways and two parking areas, while the Guyana Chronicle describes the tarmac as a designated market surface for vendors who previously operated along the road. Both outlets frame the project as part of ongoing works in the area and as a measure to manage trade activities during construction.
Taken together, the reports indicate the tarmac is completed and operational for vendor use, with space allocation handled through a lot-drawing process, and a layout designed to provide pedestrian access and parking within the market area.
