 In the framework of the IIRSA project on the upgrading of the road between Ciudad Guayana, San Martín de Turumbang, Linden, Apoera and Paramaribo, a bridge spanning the Courantyne River is planned near Apoera.According to a study by Pitou van Dijk, the Linden-Paramaribo section has only secondary priority with IIRSA at the moment.There was timber extraction taking place at Apoera including at the business complex of the sawmill of the Greenheart Group, but Greenheart closed the sawmill in 2015.
