Another lengthy closure of the Demerara Harbour Bridge is scheduled for March, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill last night announced as he inspected the current emergency work being carried out there.
“We have to signal from now. In March… We still have to replace the entire span nine and that is a more tedious, difficult and time-consuming job than dealing with acceptor span eight,” he said.
As of 8 o’clock last night, 60% of the repairs on the Demerara Harbour Bridge were completed and Chairman of the bridge’s Board of Directors Ravie Ramcharitar said it was on schedule to reopen by 3 am today.
