ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Guyana, a French overseas department, is a vast region of some 83,500 km2, located on the equator on the edge of the Latin American continent. The department has 466 kilometres of national routes, most of which are located along the coast, linking the country’s major towns – Cayenne, Kourou and Saint Laurent – with the strategic points constituted by the Guiana Space Centre (which will shortly be receiving the Russian Soyuz rocket and the Italian Vega rocket), the port of Dégrad des Cannes and the Rochambeau airport. Main passenger, goods and freight transport travels along the national routes.
