Creación de un Corredor Vial de Integración entre Venezuela y Guyana. · Vinculación de los mercados de la región oriental de Venezuela con los de las repúblicas de Guyana y Suriname, y con el Estado de Amapá, a través de Guyana Francesa. Ello se lograría mediante la articulación de la presente carretera con los corredores viales existentes y por construirse en dichos países. Adicionalmente, dichas regiones tendrían acceso al mercado Venezolano a través del sistema vial existente en ese país, y por extensión, hacia los mercados Andinos. Asimismo en el Brasil, al Estado de Roraima y a la Zona franca de Manaos al interconectarse con el corredor vial existente Manaus-Boavista-Santa Elena de Uairén-Puerto Ordaz; y a los mercados internacionales por su vinculación al sistema integral de transporte que planea desarrollar Venezuela mediante la ejecución de los proyectos Puerto de Aguas Profundas en el Estado Sucre y Sistema Ferroviario Tramo Puerto Ordaz-Maturín-Norte del Estado Sucre.

DESCRIPTION:

El proyecto consiste en la construcción de carretera una carretera asfaltada entre San Martín de Etherinbang, ubicada en el Estado Bolívar de Venezuela, con la localidad de Linden y, por ende con la ciudad de Georgetown, capital de la República de Guyana, y con Paramaribo, capital de la República de Surinam. Este último trayecto se hace por una trazado que incluye a Apura (calzada sur). El trazado de la carretera aún no ha sido definido en su totalidad, y está siendo estudiado por un Comité Técnico Binacional conformado para el desarrollo del proyecto.

CURRENT STATUS GUYANA:

WHILE THE TERMS OF REFERENCE HAVE BEEN PREPARED AND FINALIZED, A FEASIBLITY STUDY IS YET TO BE DONE FOR THE LINK BETWEEN CIUDAD GUAYANA AND LINDEN, GUYANA. THERE IS CURRENTLY A PAVED ROAD NETWORK BETWEEN LINDEN AND GEORGETOWN.

VENEZUELA AND GUYANA ARE TO AGREE ON MODALITY FOR THE FINANCING OF FEASIBLITY STUDY.

CURRENT STATUS SURINAME:

GUY18 is already in execution, namely section Zanderij to Matta (ad. 9km; execution of asphalt paving).The section Zanderij to Carolina (32 km the asphalt paving) has already been completed in December 2012. The Government of Suriname has proposed extending the GUY18 project with the additional road section Zanderij to Carolina to Moengo (ad. 80km), facilitating the connection to the GUY26 project at Moengo. The Government has also proposed to incorporate project GUY29 (Apura – Nieuw Nickerie road/ ad.70km) as part of the GUY18 project. As such project GUY29 will cease to exist as an independent project, whilst its enclosure is expected to complete the corridor routing from Nieuw-Nickerie to Moengo, via Apura and Zanderij. The Government of Suriname has started the process for inspections/inventory of the roads.

Budget: 300mln US$. Already completed 25 mln US$ (Zanderij- Carolina) financed through the China EXIMbank and the paving of Zanderij – Matta, (8 mln US$) is financed by the ICBC Bank.
