Soesdyke-Linden Highway

Soesdyke-Linden Highway

The Soesdyke-Linden Highway is a 44-mile long 2-lane highway that runs between Soesdyke and Linden in Guyana. The highway was constructed between 1966 and 1968.

The highway was rehabilitated in 1997-1999 by overlaying the stretch between Soesdyke and Kuru Kuru with asphaltic concrete and sealing the rest with a thin coat of asphalt and fine aggregate. The superstructures of the bridges, which were of greenheart, were reconstructed with reinforced concrete to a higher standard of live load.

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.
