Repairs to a section of the retractor span on the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) were completed yesterday and openings for marine traffic are expected to return to normal from today.
Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill yesterday expressed appreciation to the engineering team as well as the Management and Technical Team from the DHB for their “work beyond the call of duty” over the last week since it was announced that there was severe damage to the retractor span section nine.
Yesterday, ahead of the 4 o’clock scheduled reopening to vehicular traffic the engineering team was able to successfully complete their work and traffic is now flowing as per normal, a release from the Ministry of Public Works said.
