Temporary timber jetty being constructed at Parika Stelling for heavier trucks

(Kaieteur News) – To safely accommodate the loading of trucks exceeding 20 tonnes onto roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vessels at Parika Stelling, Region Three, the Ministry of Public Works is currently constructing a temporary diversion timber jetty there.

Minister within the Ministry of Public Works, Madanlall Ramraj, on Friday inspected ongoing works at the Parika Stelling, where a temporary diversion timber jetty is being constructed and integrated with the existing wharf infrastructure.

According to information provided by the minister, the construction of the diversion route became necessary after structural deficiencies were identified in the existing timber jetty, resulting in the imposition of a load restriction. “This intervention forms part of the Ministry’s efforts to provide a safe and practical solution for truck operators while supporting the restoration of normal operations along the Parika–Supenaam route,” he stated.
