Members of the Guyana Defence Force’s 4 Engineers Battalion have completed a heavy-duty bridge at PremNagar, Met-en-Meerzorg, West Coast Demerara, replacing the old timber structure which had served the community for decades.
A release from the GDF said that the new bridge is a composite-material structure comprising of steel, I-section beams and concrete decking.
A commissioning ceremony was held on site on Tuesday. This is another in a series of projects to be executed countrywide as part of the Government’s community-based initiative which will see the Force becoming more community oriented in its service to Guyana, the release said.
