The Mora Bridge in the vicinity of Toka Village and Yakarinta in the North Rupununi Wetlands has been repaired and can now be used following emergency works.
A release yesterday from the Ministry of Works said that the repairs became necessary following major damage to the Region Nine bridge by a Brazilian truck laden with corn which broke a beam and fell off the bridge while attempting to cross. Later, two other trucks caused more damage and eventually rendered the bridge impassable.
The Ministry of Public Works awarded a $12,000,000 contract to Lumber King Enterprises which began work on August 5th, 2022, the release said.
The work entailed replacing all damaged beams and installing new deck plans and running boards.
