Impassable Buck Hall trail snagging business in mining communities, road users say

The Buck Hall trail, in Region Seven, has become almost impassible, according to road users, who say economic activity in several mining communities have been disrupted as a result.

According to travellers, within the last three months the road has deteriorated to the extent that only trucks can use it. The persistent rainfall over the past two months has also contributed to the road’s present condition.

The Buck Hall trail is critical to the mining community in the Cuyuni. With river transport commanding high rates to transport commodities into the mining areas, the trail is a cost effective alternative.
