The owner of the tug and barge that crashed into the Demerara Harbour Bridge in December last year has to date paid twenty per cent of the repair cost.
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Demerara Harbour Bridge Company, Ravi Ramcharitar, told the Sunday Stabroek that the payments are being made and upon the agreement, an initial sum was paid.
Stabroek News understands that subsequent payments are to be made every three months until the entire sum is paid off. The bridge company is hopeful that the owner, Deonarine Sookram, will complete the payments by the end of this year.
