Although China Railway Construction Company Limited and its partners will design, finance and build the new Demerara Harbour Bridge, it is the Government of Guyana that will decide on toll fees, according to Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill.
And while a decision on how much those tolls will be is still to be decided, Edghill is assuring that it would be done “not to create hardships” for people of this country.
“The issue of tolling is a decision government will make as a matter of policy. That has not been left up to the contractor. At the appropriate time, that will be dealt with publicly,” Edghill told Sunday Stabroek when contacted.
