The Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) will be partially closed to vehicular traffic for approximately two weeks to facilitate some repair and maintenance work which will be done on the Retractor Span of the DHB.
The repair work which is to be done on the DHB seems to be significant because officials at the DHB are tight-lipped, except to say that a press release will be issued some time today.
The Retractor Span of the DHB is targeted for repairs.
Meanwhile, when questioned about the cost, Rawlston Adams, the DHB General Manager, said that the funds allocated and spent on previous rehabilitation of the DHB were primarily channelled into the repair and rehabilitation of pontoons.
Minister of Transport and Hydraulics, Robeson Benn, said that while there would be some restrictions on the use of the DHB while these repairs are going on, the bridge would not be completely closed to vehicular traffic.
Overshadowing the repair work which is to be done on the Retractor Span of the DHB is the feasibility study which is still being done to ascertain whether it is worthwhile to venture into the construction of a new bridge spanning the Demerara River.
Touted to be the New Demerara River Crossing, the new bridge is apparently still in the conceptualization phase.
