The Guyana Ministry of Public Works reports that the US$161.3 million rehabilitation and upgrade of the Soesdyke–Linden Highway is 62% complete overall. The ministry says paving work is now in its final stages along the 72-kilometre corridor, as core paving has advanced further under the project timeline. In addition to the road surface works, the ministry indicates it is moving ahead with a rollout of highway lighting as part of the broader upgrade effort. The updates come as contractors complete remaining paving-related tasks and prepare for subsequent stages of the project following the progress reached to date. The ministry’s statement frames the latest milestone as progress toward completion of the corridor improvements, while also highlighting the continuation of electrical and infrastructure components associated with the highway upgrade.
