Harbour bridge may have to close several days for span replacement

It may become necessary to initiate a lengthy closure of the Demerara Harbour Bridge in order to execute vital maintenance works by the end of August.

 There is a proposal for the bridge to be closed for approximately three to five days.

Addressing a small gathering yesterday during the commissioning of the bridge partnership with GTT Mobile Money, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill said repairs are required for the sustainability of the bridge for the next few years.
