Emergency works on the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) to repair damage from a massive collision remain on schedule with engineers labouring around the clock to meet tonight’s reopening deadline, General Manager Wayne Watson says.

In brief interview yesterday, Watson explained that they have completed works on span 10 and dropped the anchor blocks in place to have it realigned with the other spans.

Works, he went on to state have commenced on spans 9, 8 and 7 and should be completed in time for tonight.
