Linden Synthetic Track looking good for October 2018

The world-class synthetic track currently in development for Linden is on track for its projected October 2018 finish, according to Minister of Social Cohesion/ responsibility for Sport, Dr. George Norton.

The minister toured the Region 10 mining town on May 9, and disclosed that the first two phases of the track’s development were completed, while work on the third phase was in progress.

Lindeners were given a glimpse of the progress designed by the German company BSW.

Assistant Director of Sport, Melissa Richards-Dow, said the progress has been smooth thus far. According to her, all bills of quantities have been prepared and submitted for evaluation.

Following the completion of the procurement process and selection of a contractor, construction of an eight-lane, 400-metre track will commence, with the laying of the track expected to be done between 14 and 21 days.

The facility is also expected to house numerous parts which will encourage other sport beats. “This was designed with the intention of having everybody involved, to have everybody included in the air of social cohesion,” Minister Norton said.

It was also hinted that the East Berbice-Corentyne Region Six area would also benefit from such a grant, as that region has been identified to have a synthetic track in the future.
