Engineers at the Demerara Harbour Bridge yesterday facilitated and supervised a retraction to allow the movement of marine traffic and the authorities are aiming to complete emergency mechanical works by Thursday, General Manager Rawlston Adams told Stabroek News yesterday.
Adams told Stabroek News that during the retraction two vessels were able to leave Port Georgetown while two entered.
The General Manager said that the retraction was made possible after they lowered the temporary pontoon, which is in place to support the bridge. He noted that once the pontoon was lowered they were able to execute the retraction.
