A deal for the New Demerara Harbour Bridge could soon be reached as government yesterday said that it was anticipating closing negotiations soon.

“As far the negotiations, it has been advancing successfully with the second selected company and we are anticipating closure soon,” Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill yesterday told  Stabroek News when asked for an update.

While China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) had been the most responsive bidder when companies tendered for the project last year, negotiations fell through after no agreement could be reached.
