Discussions on the development of the Linden to Lethem Road have been ongoing for years and the Governments of Guyana and Brazil have not yet decided on the date when the construction of the road would commence.The uncertainty as to when this vital stretch, that links northern Brazil to Georgetown,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysauthenticonline.us@#$%&/]Cheap Jerseys Free[/url], would be transformed from loam to asphalted concrete surface was further highlighted yesterday at a press conference held at the International Convention Centre,[url=http://www.wholesalejerseyssale.us@#$%&/]Wholesale China Jerseys[/url], Pattensen.Neither of the Foreign Ministers,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysfan.us@#$%&/]Jerseys From China[/url], Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett of Guyana and Antonio Patriota of Brazil,[url=http://www.cheapestnfljerseys.us@#$%&/]Jerseys NFL Wholesale[/url], was able to update the media as to when the construction of the road would commence.However,[url=http://www.cheapestnfljerseys.us@#$%&/]Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping[/url], Minister Rodrigues-Birkett stressed that the feasibility study for the construction of the road is completed and is under the purview of the Ministry of Public Works and Communications.The economical and social importances of the road were reiterated as the Ministers emphasized the good trade relations the two countries share.Minister Rodrigues-Birkett noted that Guyana is unable to compete with Brazil?s economy and the country would be unable to maximize trade potential in the absence of the Linden to Lethem Road. She stated that 60 tariff lines were added to the already existing 127.It was pointed out that a consortium of Brazilian companies is in Guyana discussing various projects including the aforementioned road and hydropower.Minister Rodrigues-Birkett asserted that while a time frame is not confirmed for the road?s construction, the Government of Guyana is executing maintenance works on the stretch.Recent heavy rainfall in the hinterland region resulted in the deplorable condition of the Linden to Lethem Road to worsen. The flooding of the road and the caving of some culverts made certain sections impassible. It also resulted in the permanent closure of Intra Serv,[url=http://www.wholesalejerseyssale.us@#$%&/]Cheap Jerseys Authentic[/url], a bus service from Georgetown to Lethem.The sponginess of the stretch after the flood made road repairs difficult. Persons driving cargo trucks were asked to respect the weight limit so as to prevent further damage to the road.
