Several vehicles were forced to wait for more than 30 minutes at the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) early yesterday morning after drivers found the gates inexplicably closed and the bridge company says it will investigate why there was such an inconvenience.
Speaking to Stabroek News yesterday, a driver, who did not want to be named, said he was transporting a doctor and several nurses to Parika to catch the first vessel leaving for Essequibo, but when he arrived at the DHB around 3.15 am he was greeted by closed gates.
