Construction and RehabilitationThe Soesdyke-Linden highway was constructed between 1966 and 1968 by B.B. Mc. Cormick & Sons. It cost approximately US$17 million to build. The highway was officially opened in 1969.[1] The Soesdyke-Linden Highway was constructed as one phase of a highway connecting Georgetown with Lethem. A feasibility study for such a highway was done by a US consulting firm, Metcalf and Eddy, in 1961.{{cn|date=September 2012}} 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 asphaltic 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.{{cn|date=September 2012}} References1. ^1 {{cite news|last=Johnson|first=Ruel|title=The Soesdyke-Linden Corridor: Touring the most visited tourism recreation area in Guyana|url=http://www.landofsixpeoples.com/news304/nc311309.htm|accessdate=15 September 2012|newspaper=Guyana Chronicle|date=20 November 2003|authorlink=Ruel Johnson|format=Archive copy}} {{Coord|6.2824|-58.2133|dim:50000_region:GY|display=title}}{{Transport in Guyana}}{{Guyana-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Smock|first=Kirk|title=Guyana:The Bradt Travel Guide|year=2008|publisher=Bradt Travel Guides|location=UK|isbn=978 1 84162 223 1|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ISssHyssa2gC&pg=PA117&lpg=PA117&dq=smock+soesdyke+linden+highway+117&source=bl&ots=AASkCzO8D6&sig=kl4GNh3aYzHlAzJ9N0zMwhX1kaQ&hl=en#v=onepage&q=smock%20soesdyke%20linden%20highway%20117&f=false|page=117}} 3. ^{{cite web|last=Government of Guyana|title=Road Transport|url=http://www.guyana.org/NDS/chap38.htm|work=Guyana National Development Stratefy|publisher=Government of Guyana|accessdate=15 September 2012|date=March 1996}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|last=Embassy of Guyana in Washington DC|title=CDB funding to repair Linden Highway|url=http://www.guyana.org/GuyNews/03_22_97.htm|work=Guyana News Brief - 22 March 1997|publisher=Embassy of Guyana, Washington DC|accessdate=15 September 2012|date=22 March 1997}} 1 : Road transport in Guyana |
