Suriname’s government has announced a comprehensive two-year plan to address persistent traffic congestion and upgrade critical national transportation infrastructure, with work scheduled to roll out across 2027 and 2028. President Jennifer Simons outlined the full scope of the initiative during her annual address to the nation, detailing that congestion bottlenecks will first be targeted through a series of targeted adjustments including strategically placed new roundabouts, reconfigured one-way traffic systems, and the rerouting of heavy freight traffic away from central urban districts.
