Repairs to deteriorating sections of Rupert Craig Highway between Ogle and UG Road to start Monday
(Kaieteur News) – The Ministry of Public Works will begin remedial works on Monday, July 13, 2026, on the southern carriageway of the Rupert Craig Highway, between Ogle and the University of Guyana Road in Cummings Lodge, a stretch that has been experiencing structural deterioration.
In a notice posted on its Facebook page, the ministry said the surface scaling is a natural result of the road’s age, heavy daily traffic, and general wear over time.
Sections of the Rupert Craig Highway between Ogle and the University of Guyana Road in Cummings Lodge which have deteriorated.
The ministry noted that similar remedial works were previously carried out along the northern carriageway, from Sparendaam to Liliendaal, to address the same kind of age-related deterioration, and that those repairs were successful.
To minimise disruption to commuters, engineering teams will carry out the repairs outside of peak traffic hours. Traffic management measures will also be in place to ensure the safety of road users and construction personnel.
Motorists and pedestrians are urged to exercise caution in the construction zone, reduce speed, and follow all posted signs and directions once work begins.
The ministry has asked for the public’s patience and cooperation during the maintenance period.
