Interested builders of the new bridge across the Demerara River have up to December 4th to submit expressions of interest (EOI) for a four-lane high-span structure that could be as high as the Marriott Hotel or higher and while likely to be pricey there is no word yet from the government on the projected cost of the facility.
The choice of Nandy Park to the east and Meer Zorgen/La Grange to the west for the new proposed Demerara River Bridge was done based on long-term infrastructural and economic development plans for residents on both sides of the Demerara River, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill said yesterday.
It was also one of the recommended locations of a feasibility study done by the previous APNU+AFC government.
