-overweight trucks have to slim down
As part of ongoing efforts to upgrade infrastructure in Region Ten, $95M in major repairs will be conducted on the bridge across the Deme-rara River from Linden to Wismar, the Ministry of Public Works and Commu-nication has said.
According to a Govern-ment Information Agency (GINA) press release, Coordinator of the Works Services Group at the ministry Leon Goring said tenders for the project are being assessed.
After a survey was conducted by the Linden Mining Enterprise Limited Secretariat in November, a restriction of 28.8 tonnes gross vehicle weight was immediately imposed for crossing of the bridge. This access bridge often bears the weight of heavy-duty trucks laden with logs and other timber products being transported from as far as regions eight and nine.
