Work on the collapsed Tiger Creek Bridge in Region Eight continues to be delayed by persistent rain but the contractor has been helping vehicles to travel through the area via a bypass.
The key Potaro-Siparuni bridge collapsed on November 3rd while a heavy-duty truck was crossing. No one was injured. At that time, the Regional Engineer Wendell St Pierre told the Department of Public Information (DPI) that from a preliminary assessment the bridge appears to have collapsed due to a damaged beam.
While the Ministry of Public Works (MoPW) had crafted a three-week timeline for the completion of emergency works on the bridge, progress has been severely delayed by rainfall in the area.
