Patterson denies additional spending for new Demerara bridge feasibility 

Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson has rejected claims by Opposition Member of Parliament Juan Edghill that his ministry took additional funds from the Demerara Harbour Bridge Asphalt Plant to fund the controversial feasibility study for the planned new bridge crossing.

Making his contribution to debate of the national budget on Wednesday, Edghill used the opportunity to pose questions about the feasibility study for the new Demerara Harbour Bridge that was done by Dutch company LievenseCSO.
