A 50-foot section on the southern end of the Pirara Bridge in the Rupununi has collapsed as a truck heading from Lethem was crossing last night.
As of this morning, a fuel tanker from the Lethem Power Company Inc. along with others were stuck on the other side of the bridge.
Presently the Bridge is inaccessible to all types of traffic, according to a post on Facebook from the Lethem Town Council.
The Council advised persons to proceed with extreme caution in the area.
Deputy Mayor of Lethem, Debra King and others from the council and Regional Democratic Council visited the site to assess the damage.
