The Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) has conditionally reopened to vehicles weighing 18 tonnes and below as repair works are 75% completed.

In a statement yesterday, the Ministry of Public Works said that a special arrangement was put in place that would see vehicles within the weight limit traversing the bridge between the hours of 12:00 – 04:00 am.

Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill said that the decision was arrived at following another inspection of the bridge by the structural engineers and advice given by the bridge’s Management Team.
