IsDB US$200M loan to cover new Wismar/Mackenzie Bridge

Minister of Public Works Juan Edgill

The construction of the proposed four-lane Wismar/Mackenzie Bridge is to be funded under the US$200 million financial agreement with the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB).

Public Works Minister Juan Edghill told Stabroek News last week that they are looking at having the new piece of infrastructure built from the loan. His response stemmed from this newspaper’s enquiry regarding the increase of the loan from US$120 million to US$200 million.
