The Ministry of Public Works’ Works Services Group is advising the public about the closure of the Kurupukari to Surama portion of the Linden to Lethem trail to heavy truck trafficuntil further notice.
The closure is due to accidents and damage to two bridges at Moco Moco, 27 kilometres south of the Kurupukari crossing on the Essequibo River in the Iwokrama forest and the bridge at  the Surama junction further south.

A fatality was reported in the incident at Moco Moco bridge. A repair programme with contractors from Lethem is under way.

In mid- June, the ministry had advised the public about weight limit restrictions on the Linden to Lethem trail, given road conditions due to inclement weather.
These restrictions are still in effect.
