-Pirara Bridge submerged
A section of the Kurupukari to Lethem Corridor collapsed yesterday under continuous pressure from a storm surge and traffic between Georgetown and Lethem will be affected, the Ministry of Public Works said last night.
In addition, the approach to the Pirara Bridge has been submerged after heavy rain lashed the area and light traffic is being recommended.
In a statement, the ministry said that it has activated emergency teams for the restoration of the Linden-Lethem Corridor. Contractors and materials are en route to the affected area.
