Residents of Aishalton, in Region Nine, have said that the worsening state of a bridge linking South Rupununi communities to Lethem is putting them in peril during every journey to the township. The bridge is located 400 metres from the eastern Rupununi Bridge along the main Aishalton to Lethem road.
