Contractors who signed a $200 million agreement to construct a road that would have linked the North and Central Rupununi communities were directed to do other works after the project was halted in 2019.
According to the Region Nine Chairman Brian Allicock, not much work was done when the project started in April 2019 but it was later halted with majority of the road being left incomplete. He said that the contractors were already paid so they were directed to do other works within the region.
He stated that there is a possibility that the project would be considered in the 2022 budget but nothing will be done this year.
