Several measures are being implemented at the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) to enable maintenance work following damage to span nine, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said on Sunday.

Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill was on Sunday updated on the emergency works going forward after a series of analyses were conducted.

According to DPI, Edghill said “Every effort is being made to ensure that we could get vehicles crossing the bridge, supplies can move from the east to the west and vice versa, people can get to work, and we can respond to medical and security emergencies.”
