Region to assess South Rupununi’s roads, bridges -engineer

The Marurunau bridge which reportedly collapsed over a month ago.

An assessment of roads and bridges in the South Rupununi by the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) in Region Nine, which was reportedly delayed by the torrential rains, is expected to commence this week.

Lethem Public Works Department engineer Ulecia Bishop, in a brief comment, told Stabroek News that the assessment of the transport infrastructure in the South Rupununi was delayed by torrential rains for the past months, so the department was unaware of the present state of the roads and bridges.

Stabroek News recently reported on the poor state of the bridges and roads used by residents of the South Rupununi.
