Linden to Bartica trail in terrible state

A slush-filled section of the Sherima Crossing

Rainfall compounded by poor maintenance of sections of the Linden to Bartica Road has left it in a deplorable state making it difficult for users from the logging and mining industries to traverse.

Since April, road users say that travelling along the trail has taken a toll on many logging and mining operations. The deteriorating condition of the road has resulted in trips being lengthened by days as trucks and trailers carrying logs are unable to easily navigate.

Yesterday, truckers and logging operators told this newspaper that two hills: Bamboo and Tyson Hills have become impassable resulting in many processed logs being left on concessions.
