The Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica) has held off on granting its no-objection for the new Demerara River Bridge project due to the Ministry of Public Works’ non-consultation with the residents of Nandy Park, East Bank Demerara.
The new bridge is expected to land in the vicinity of Nandy Park on the eastern side of the Demerara River and at La Grange/Meer-Zorgen on the West Bank. According to the Ministry’s Chief Trans-port Planning Officer, Patrick Thompson, only a handful of residents would have to be relocated to facilitate the new bridge.
