The Ministry of Public Infrastructure has commissioned the lift for the pedestrian walkway at Peter’s Hall, on the East Bank of Demerara.
Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson, Junior Minister Jaipaul Sharma and Permanent Secretary Kenneth Jordan commissioned the facility.
According to a statement published on the Ministry’s Facebook page, lift operators will be working on a shift system from 6 am to 2 pm and from 2 pm to 10 pm.
The operators will be outfitted with safety vests and radio sets and are required to have their radio set on them at all times so that in the event of an emergency, they will be able to connect with their supervisor at the Demerara Harbour Bridge Corporation.
Patterson, the statement said, admonished the young operators to be respectful at all times and to treat the general public, inclusive of children, courteously.
