on the Lethem road- which is eroded- are completed.
Engineers from the Ministry of Public Infrastructure and V. Dalip Enterprise, were able to complete the temporary structure Sunday afternoon.
Heavy duty vehicles can now ply the route, the Ministry of Public Infrastructure said yesterday.
Meanwhile, plans are afoot to build two bridges instead of culverts as part of the Ministry’s long term solution.
Sections of the trail washed away after heavy rains last week.
Drivers were forced to build makeshift bridges along the affected roadway.
The Linden/Lethem trail is a critical link from the city to Lethem, which borders with neighbouring Brazil.
The trail also links several hinterland communities.
