Negotiations for Wismar Bridge construction to start soon

Government will soon engage Chinese contractor China Railway Construction Corporation Limited in negotiations for the construction of a four-lane bridge at Wismar, across the Demerara River.

Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, at a recent press conference, revealed that the bridge is pegged to cost US$35 million.

“We are at a stage where we are ready to start the negotiations. We have had three offers and when the details emerge you will see the offers we received were very very competitive…,” Jagdeo said.
