This project is expected to make major upgrades to approximately 122 km of the Linden to Lethem Road, a key section of the arterial route from the coast of Guyana to Brazil, which is currently unsurfaced and prone to flooding. It . will also include the construction of a crossing at Kurupaukari to replace the current ferry, which has limited capacity and does not operate on a 24 hour basis. The road will open up opportunities for increased agricultural production and tourism, and the design will incorporate improved climate resilience.
