In the country’s largest public works project to date, the new Demerara Harbour Bridge is now a step closer to reality following the signing yesterday of a US$260 million contract between the government and China Railway Construction Company Limited (CRCCL).
The signing comes after months of technical and financial negotiations with CRCCL and their partners, China Railway Construction (Caribbean) Company Limited, and China Railway Construction Bridge Engineering Bureau Group Company Limited, who tendered for the project in a joint venture.
