Harbour bridge piloting new system of night maintenance – GM

Unable to undertake critical maintenance work during the day, the management of the Demerara Harbour Bridge Company is piloting a new system by executing much needed works on the harbour bridge at nights, General Manager Wayne Watson said.

Watson in a telephone interview yesterday with Stabroek News explained that from 10 pm to 6 am daily they will be closing off one lane of traffic to commuters to facilitate the maintenance works.

He explained that the works will be carried out on the decking plates supporting structures and other parts of the bridge that require works.
