Soesdyke-Linden Highway

[citation needed] The highway was rehabilitated in 1997–1999 with funding from the Caribbean Development Bank.

[3][4] The repair works were carried out by a Trinidadian company called Seereeram Brothers Ltd at a cost of US$6,575,000.

[4] The repair works included: overlaying the stretch between Soesdyke and Kuru Kururu with Asphalt concrete and sealing the rest of the road with a thin coat of asphalt and fine aggregate.

The super structures of the bridges, which were of greenheart, were reconstructed with Reinforced concrete to a higher standard of live load.

[citation needed] The highway greatly improved development of the town of Linden, which was previously accessed by boat via the Demerara River.
